Press Release

Date: Nov. 3, 2023
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Science, Technology and Communication

"It's welcome news to see the Department of Commerce and NTIA recognize the restrictive and unnecessary requirements put on the BEAD program and make needed changes before it limited West Virginia's ability to take full advantage of this opportunity. While I was helping craft and negotiate the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, broadband was top of mind, and making this support accessible was a priority. Our Internet Service Providers in West Virginia work tirelessly to connect our state with the broadband service they deserve, and I'm proud to use my voice to make needed resources more available to them."
