The ACP – a product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – serves over 80,695 households in New York’s 22nd 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, a majority of House Republicans – including Brandon Williams – actively called for this program to sunset through their Republican Study Committee, whose budget calls for an end to the program.
While House Republicans like Williams 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.
Williams has shamelessly tried to mislead Central New York and Mohawk Valley families by half-heartedly signing onto the bill while refusing to disavow his previous efforts to end the program.
DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“At every turn, Brandon Williams caves to his Republican party bosses by enabling their extreme agenda, even if it means raising internet costs for Central New York and Mohawk Valley families. Williams’ misguided ‘priorities’ will cost him in November.”
