Representative Menendez and New Jersey Democrats urge restoration of $2.75 billion funding for Digital Equity Act Programs.
Quiver AI Summary
Representative Rob Menendez (NJ-08) has led a group of New Jersey Democratic lawmakers in urging Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to restore cuts to Digital Equity Act Programs. They are advocating for the reinstatement of $2.75 billion in funding, which supports low-income communities, veterans, and seniors in accessing technology.
The requested funding, crucial for closing the digital divide, was originally allocated through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in 2021. Menendez emphasized the importance of internet access for participating in the modern economy, stating, “It’s simply wrong that the Trump Administration would eliminate this funding.”
The New Jersey delegation, which includes eight members of Congress, pointed out that the loss of funding would significantly hinder initiatives aimed at enhancing digital literacy and technology access for vulnerable populations in the state.
