Where they are running
Where they stand
Road repair: Walters would redirect federal transportation funding from new bike and bus lane projects to road repair and resurfacing, and oppose transportation bills funding new multimodal projects until 80% of existing road repair backlogs are eliminated.
Municipal road grants: Walters would create a $5 billion annual federal program distributing highway repair funds directly to municipalities, bypassing state transportation departments and multimodal funding conditions.
Infrastructure maintenance: Walters would establish a maintenance-first federal transportation standard requiring jurisdictions to bring all roads rated poor or fair into good condition before receiving federal funding for new transportation infrastructure.
