Allison Eid will make Colorado proud as she assumes her new position on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Allison’s experience as Colorado’s Solicitor General, serving on Colorado’s Supreme Court, and teaching at CU Law will all contribute to her success on the Tenth Circuit.

Improving Rural Broadband

I sent a letter with Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO), along with nearly 40 other senators, to Federal Communications Commission officials urging them to affirm their commitment to provide affordable and reliable broadband for consumers in the hardest to reach communities across rural America.

Rural Coloradans need access to broadband to grow their economies and keep our rural communities strongThe Federal Communications Commission should take the necessary action to make sure rural broadband providers are receiving the resources they need to serve rural America.

Meeting with a High-Level North Korean Defector

I led a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting with Thae Yong-Ho, a high-level North Korean defector who served as North Korea’s Deputy Ambassador to the United Kingdom until he defected to South Korea last year.

He provided valuable insight to the committee and we agreed that more economic and diplomatic pressure is necessary against Kim Jong Un to bring about peaceful denuclearization of North Korea. I look forward to working with my colleagues and the Administration in order to achieve this goal.

Bringing Transparency and Accountability in EAGLE-Net Alliance Assets Transfer

Last week, I sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross requesting that any transfer of EAGLE-Net Alliance’s former assets be delayed until a National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Administrator is confirmed. I'm taking action to make sure a transparent and open process takes place.
