"Internet capable devices are not a luxury -- they are a necessity of modern life. I'm proud to introduce the Promoting Access to Broadband Act with Senator Durbin to increase access to the vital Affordable Connectivity and Lifeline programs. I represent a district that is urban, suburban, and rural -- I know firsthand how important internet connection is whether you're a student in Chicago, a farmer in Kankakee, or a doctor in Danville. Internet connectivity expands access to education opportunities, job opportunities, and resources like telemedicine. This legislation is a vital step toward eliminating the digital divide and ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive."
