Among the 13 Republicans in the U.S. House who crossed the aisle last weekend to help pass the trillion dollar infrastructure bill, none are from Georgia.

“So the question is, why did every single Georgia Republican oppose this popular, historic legislation?” asked Rep. Nikema Williams, who also chairs the Georgia Democratic Party.

The infrastructure bill passed by congress invests, among other things, $135 million to build a network of electric vehicle charging stations in Georgia.
