Arnold Ventures Statement on the Senate Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act

Washington, D.C. (September 30, 2026) — John Arnold, co-founder and co-chair of Arnold Ventures, provided the following statement on the Senate Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act:

“Arnold Ventures applauds the landmark bipartisan Senate energy permitting reform deal released today that will unleash American energy, strengthen our electric grid, and lower costs for families. This is the most important affordability legislation in a generation, and we urge Congress to send it to the president’s desk immediately upon their return to Washington.”

“America has the resources, the workers, and the ingenuity to power the next era of economic growth and shared prosperity in America, but to accomplish this we must pass legislation to modernize permitting processes to give builders clear answers and predictable timelines, while continuing to protect the environment. That’s why the bipartisan Senate deal unveiled today is supported by businesses, labor, environmental groups, and advocates across the political spectrum.”

“We commend Senators Capito, Whitehouse, Lee, and Heinrich for their leadership and commitment to finding common ground on an urgent issue that impacts every aspect of American life.”
