Political Quotes

“Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to this amendment. The Communications Equity and Diversity Council at the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, is instrumental in promoting inclusivity within the organization. By championing diversity, it ensures that the workforce represents a broader spectrum of perspectives, fostering a more inclusive and equitable workplace. The council's existence improves decisionmaking at the FCC by incorporating diverse viewpoints. Diverse teams are more likely to generate innovative ideas, leading to better policies and regulations that benefit a wider range of people in the ever-evolving communications and technology sector. The Communications Equity and Diversity Council also plays a crucial role in ensuring that the FCC complies with American law as well as ethical guidelines related to diversity and equity in employment. For these reasons, I strongly oppose this amendment. Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
