House Commerce Committee Republicans Support House Democrats' Request for Bipartisan Net Neutrality Working Group

House Commerce Committee Ranking Member Greg Walden (R-OR), Communications Subcommittee Ranking Member Bob Latta (R-OH), and Consumer Protection Ranking Member Cathy McMorris-Rodgers (R-WA) released the following statement after 47 Democratic representatives – led by Reps Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Scott Peters (D-CA) – signed a letter to Democratic leadership looking to form a bipartisan working group to solve network neutrality. “We have long said that a permanent, bipartisan legislative solution produced in good faith with our Democratic colleagues is the only way to protect consumers, innovation, and an open internet. We welcome our colleagues’ engagement, and hope that a bipartisan working group can be a successful incubator for true bipartisan net neutrality legislation,” the Republican leaders said.
