What Republican Lawmakers Are Saying About FCC Chairman Pai's Proposal to Restore Internet Freedom

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued a statement commending Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai: “for taking bold action . . . to turn back this portion of the Obama Administration’s eight-year regulatory assault on all aspects of our economy.”

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) praised the effort to restore Internet freedom: “Chairman Pai’s announcement that the FCC will roll back these regulations is welcome news. Congress is committed to working with the Trump administration to enact policies that protect consumers and ensure Americans have access to a free and open internet.”
