FCC Commissioner. Latina-American. Communications attorney and tech nerd. Dog mom.
Looking ahead, I’m excited about how telecom advancements can help tackle big challenges, especially in accessibility.

From autonomous vehicles on the ground and in the air to smarter infrastructure, technology shouldn’t replace humanity, but give us more time to be human.

The greatest legacy of the Telecom Act of ’96 was opening the door to competition with guardrails.

It expanded consumer choice and helped fuel the growth of wireless and broadband, powering everyday tools like smartphones that we now take for granted.

The First Amendment protects the right of daytime and late-night programs to cover newsworthy issues and express viewpoints without government interference.

I urge broadcasters and their parent networks to stand strong against these unfounded attacks.

The real purpose is to weaponize the FCC’s regulatory authority to intimidate perceived critics of this Administration and chill protected speech. That is not how a free society operates.

Connectivity should be treated as an essential service and not be used as a political tool.

As the FCC moves forward with this proposal, my focus will continue to be on ensuring that our policies expand opportunity, lower costs, and keep families connected.

I support efforts to protect the integrity and success of the Lifeline program.

But by proposing to use the same cruel and punitive eligibility standards recently imposed for Medicaid coverage, the FCC risks excluding large numbers of eligible households from a proven lifeline.

Broadcast stations have a constitutional right to carry newsworthy content, even when that content is critical of those in power.

That does not change today, it will not change tomorrow and it will not change simply because of this Administration’s desire to silence its critics.

The First Amendment does not yield to government intimidation.

Broadcasters should not feel pressured to water down, sanitize, or avoid critical coverage out of fear of regulatory retaliation.

For decades, the Commission has recognized that bona fide news interviews, late-night programs, and daytime news shows are entitled to editorial discretion based on newsworthiness, not political favoritism.

That principle has not been repealed, revised, or voted on by the FCC.
