Local broadcasters, like @keloland in South Dakota, are integral parts of their communities—delivering live and trusted news.

The FCC should work to empower these broadcasters to serve their communities and the public interest.

Great to visit their Sioux Falls studio today!

An appellate court just struck down the Biden FCC’s 2024 decision to force broadcasters to post race and gender scorecards.

As I said in my dissent back then, the FCC’s 2024 decision was an unlawful effort to pressure businesses into discriminating based on race & gender.
