Kamala Harris on Wednesday posted on Twitter about her visit to the wind turbine research and sustainable energy labs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, in order to give a boost to the American Jobs Plan. Her tweet stated, “Yesterday, I toured the wind turbine research and sustainable energy labs @UWM. The American Jobs Plan will invest in R&D so the U.S. can create jobs, address the climate crisis, and spur new technological breakthroughs.”

Earlier on Tuesday, Harris also participated in a roundtable discussion regarding the investments in research and development proposed in President Joe Biden’s infrastructure jobs plan.  She was joined by Democratic U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, Congresswoman Gwen Moore, university and business leaders, researchers, teachers, administrators among others.

The Vice President’s visit comes at a time when the Biden administration is gearing to ramp up the American Jobs Plan, an extensive $2.3 trillion development package that aims to improve the country’s aging infrastructure, combating climate change, and creating jobs.

This is Harris’s first trip to Wisconsin after joining the office in January.
