Committee Approves E-BRIDGE Act and Other Legislation

Press Release

"The Committee held another successful markup on a number of bipartisan bills by Committee Members. In particular, I'm proud that the Committee approved my legislation, the E-BRIDGE Act, to help spur projects that attract jobs and businesses to expand economic development and opportunity in rural and poor communities. Too many of our communities, particularly in rural America, still lack broadband access. In some cases, just completing that "last mile' is what stands in the way of connecting people to a job or the services they need, and this bill offers help in bridging that last mile."
