Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH5) was selected by Committee Republican Leader Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA5) to lead Republicans on the Communications and Technology (C&T) Subcommittee at the Energy and Commerce Committee for the 117th Congress.
Latta stated: “We must also focus on making sure Americans who live in rural communities, like many who live in Ohio’s Fifth Congressional District in Northwest and West Central Ohio, are not left behind as participation in our 21st century economy relies more and more on Internet access. Over the next two years, I look forward to advancing access to high-speed broadband and closing the digital divide, ensuring our communications networks are safe and secure, freeing up spectrum for 5G expanding the rollout of our 5G infrastructure, and maintaining global leadership to bring innovative technologies to market.”
