"President Joe Biden's designated infrastructure manager Mitch Landrieu, the former mayor of New Orleans, has concerning ties to Chinese Communist Party influence organizations that should "disqualify" him from the job, according to Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisconsin.
"Mitch Landrieu served as an adviser to the United States China Heartland Association, a group that is funded by CCP United Front organizations and that promotes Chinese investment in U.S. infrastructure projects," Gallagher wrote in a statement this week. "This should disqualify him from overseeing the implementation of President Biden's massive infrastructure package. The president must immediately reconsider this selection and find another individual — who hasn't advised an entity funded by the CCP — to do the job." Like Biden's nominee to head the Export-Import Bank, Reta Jo Lewis, Landrieu serves as strategic adviser to the Heartland Association, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
"United States Heartland China Association [USHCA] is a 501(c)3 bipartisan organization committed to building stronger ties between USHCA Region [20 states located in the USA between the Great Lakes to the Gulf] and the People's Republic of China," the group's website reads."
