VIDEO: CAPITO ASKS WEST VIRGINIANS TO SHARE BROADBAND FEEDBACK

Press Release

U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, as well as co-chair of the Senate Broadband Caucus, today launched a new initiative inviting West Virginians to share information on broadband challenges or solutions they've seen in their communities, as well as other feedback related to this issue.

"I have always said that if we can get a man or a woman on the moon, we can get internet in the mountains. Now, I need to hear from you. As we head into 2022, please join me in tackling this critical issue by sharing your feedback with me. Call or write to one of my offices or submit your feedback on my website. I am excited to continue and build on the work we started years ago, and I am committed to knocking down even more barriers to better connect our communities. This is about the future of our state. Let's finally close the digital divide in West Virginia," Senator Capito said in the video.

West Virginians are encouraged to share their stories and experiences on a new webpage: capito.senate.gov/ShareYourStories or contact any of Senator Capito's offices here: https://www.capito.senate.gov/contact/office-locations

Over the coming weeks, Senator Capito and members of her staff will carefully evaluate the input received from West Virginians in all corners of the state, and announce next steps for the Capito Connect Plan.
