Thune to Oppose Gomez as Commissioner of the FCC

Statement

Date: Sept. 7, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Technology and Communication Executive Branch

"Since restoring the light-touch government regulation of the internet, mobile and fixed broadband access has expanded, Americans enjoy faster internet speeds, and 5G services have been expanded to more rural areas. Unfortunately, Ms. Gomez would like to undo that progress by reinstating heavy-handed, Obama-era regulations to the internet, which would stifle our nation's dynamic and robust e-commerce sector and slow down the expansion of broadband to rural communities. For that reason, I oppose her nomination."
