It is probably the only Federal program that consistently comes in under budget with premiums that have remained largely unchanged.

For too long, the promise of the internet age for communities of color has been left unfulfilled.

Protecting early voting protects the franchise for everyone. That is precisely why it is dangerous to those who want to see fewer people voting in some States.

I just want to say, for those of us from rural areas, some of our towns and cities don't have transportation systems in those cities.

I thank the Chairperson for convening this hearing.

Internet access in rural communities is of paramount importance.

We have got to continue to work on the last mile. We have got to encourage investment.
