The ACP – a product of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – serves nearly 40,000 households in Arizona’s 1st District, lowering costs 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 David Schweikert – actively called for this program to sunset through their Republican Study Committee, whose budget calls for the end of the program.
While House Republicans like Schweikert 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.
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“At every turn, David Schweikert caves to his Republican party bosses by enabling their extreme agenda, even if it means raising internet costs for Arizona families. Schweikert’s misguided ‘priorities’ will cost him in November.”
