Department of Commerce
The co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Rural Broadband Caucus, Reps Dave Taylor (R-OH-02), Angie Craig (D-MN-02), Rob Wittman (R-VA-01), James Clyburn (D-SC-06), Bob Latta (R-OH-05), and Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM-03), announced the launch of the Caucus in the 119th Congress. Founded in 2016, the bipartisan Congressional Rural Broadband Caucus has served as a forum for members of Congress from both sides of the aisle to spearhead solutions that close the broadband access gap across the country.
Join us on June 17th at 2 PM ET for a webinar on how poor broadband access and adoption can impact healthcare access and outcomes.
