Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re going to start replacing 100% of the lead pipes and water lines that go into homes and schools in this country. Every American, every child, should be able to turn on a faucet and drink water that’s clean.

The claim was challenged by Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-New Mexico), who said in a tweet that has since been deleted that no Republicans voted for the bill.

Heinrich is incorrect: The bill passed the Senate with a vote of 69-30, with one abstention, and the House 228-206. Thirteen House Republicans votedfor the bill, and 19 Senate Republicans did so. You can see a full list of the Republicans in the House and the Senate here and here, respectively.

As a product of the New Mexico public education system, this seems about right.
