The following statement can be attributed to Gigi Sohn, Spokesperson for the Affordable Broadband Campaign:

‍

“Thank you, Senator Peter Welch, for leading the charge to get funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program out of committee and one step closer to the finish line. This program has been in limbo for far too long. Despite overwhelming bipartisan support — including from the Republican Vice Presidential nominee — low-income Americans are caught in the middle of political games without the help they need to stay online. American families need affordable internet access now, and the ACP is the best way to achieve this in the short term. 

We are thrilled to see momentum towards funding this important program and we urge Majority Leader Schumer to put this bill on the floor. Let’s do this.”
