IN THE STATES: Local Media Highlights Need for American Jobs Plan Across the Country
April 16, 2021
DNC billboards reminding Americans that “help is here” thanks to President Biden and Democrats continue to get attention
This week, local media across the country highlighted the need for the American Jobs Plan — the once-in-a-century and overwhelmingly popular investment in America that not only meets our current infrastructure needs, like rebuilding crumbling roads and bridges and making sure every American has access to broadband and clean water, but also invests in research and development, so that we can make 21st century products in the U.S. and sell them around the world. Meanwhile, the DNC’s “Help is Here” billboard campaign continues to attract attention as it reminds voters that Democrats are delivering relief, no thanks to a single Republican.
Here’s a look at what voters in states across the country were reading — and seeing — this week:
Local media continued to highlight the DNC’s billboard campaign, which reminds Americans that help is here thanks to President Biden and Democrats, who delivered needed relief to working families through the American Rescue Plan.

The nation’s top Democrats have an all-caps message for Oregon motorists: Help — and more importantly, cash — is on the way.
The Democratic National Committee is spreading that message with a new posting on a billboard near Exit 16 in Wood Village alongside Interstate 84.
“HELP IS HERE. $1,400 CHECKS. $$$ TO REOPEN SCHOOLS. $$$ FOR VACCINES,” the billboard proclaims.
Across the country, local media and state Democratic parties highlighted the critical need to pass the American Jobs Plan and how it would benefit their state’s infrastructure and economy.
