Office of U.S. Senator Deb Fischer
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released her subcommittee assignments for the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation in the 119th Congress:
- Chair, Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Media
- Member, Subcommittee on Surface Transportation, Freight, Pipelines, and Safety
- Member, Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Technology, and Data Privacy
“Nebraska’s communities rely on connectivity—in both transportation and telecommunications—to thrive. This is especially true in our rural communities, which are too often neglected in policy conversations. I look forward to continuing my work on the Commerce Committee this Congress where I will advocate for Nebraskans’ needs, especially as Chair of the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Media,” said Senator Fischer.
The Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Media has broad jurisdiction over communications matters, including telephone, internet, satellite, broadcast, wireline and wireless broadband, spectrum management, and public safety communications. In the 119th Congress, Senator Fischer will lead the subcommittee’s efforts to keep Americans connected along with Ranking Member Ben Ray Luján (D-NM).
