May 29. 2025 Editor, The News-Gazette: Sen. Mark Warner was a coauthor of the 2021 law to expand rural broadband, which the Trump administration has been blocking.
Senator Warner recently cosigned a letter to the administration calling for them to follow the law and release these funds. In an increasingly connected economy, every American, regardless of where they live, needs to have access to affordable high-speed internet in order to succeed in the modern economy.
Although the people of Collierstown, Rockbridge County, remain frustrated with the current situation, we appreciate Senator Warner for his efforts to keep rural Rockbridge connected to the rest of the country. You can thank Senator Warner at (202) 224-2023. DAPHNE RAZ Collierstown
