“I thank the ranking member and the chairman for moving this bill forward. I rise today in support of H.R. 4500, the Promoting United States Wireless Leadership Act of 2019. I am pleased my colleague from Michigan, Representative Dingell, worked with me on this important legislation to enhance United States leadership in the development of wireless standards. Michigan's economy has become resurgent, in no small part, thanks to the renewed focus under past-Governor Snyder on STEM education and technical careers in the IT field. As co-chair of the 5G Caucus, I understand the importance of bringing not only these technical jobs to Michigan, but also the jobs that will come as a result of leading the world on 5G deployment. As industry continues to send their best and brightest to these global technical standards-setting bodies, we must continue supporting them with necessary technical expertise and continue leading the world in wireless innovation. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.”
