The ACP – a product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – serves 22,577 households in New York’s Fourth Congressional District, providing discounts of up to $70 for monthly internet bills.
A recent survey conducted by the FCC found that more than two-thirds of beneficiaries to the ACP said they had inconsistent or no internet service prior to the program’s existence.
Meanwhile, Anthony D’Esposito’s extreme House Republican majority actively called for this program to sunset through their far-right Republican Study Committee, whose budget calls for an end to the program.
While D’Esposito and House Republicans continue to cave to the demands of Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene, House Democrats have introduced common sense legislation to replenish the fund to keep monthly bills low for millions of Americans who rely on access to affordable internet.
D’Esposito has shamelessly tried to mislead Nassau County voters by half-heartedly signing onto the bill while refusing to disavow his extreme party’s previous efforts to end the program.
DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“At every turn, Anthony D’Esposito proves he can’t stand up to his Republican party bosses and their extreme agenda, even if it means letting his party raise internet costs for Nassau County families. The GOP’s misguided ‘priorities’ will cost D’Esposito in November.”
