I am excited to work with my colleagues in a bipartisan manner to address our nation's pressing spectrum issues. From commercial spectrum allocations to spectrum reforms, there is a great deal of work to be done to ensure we are setting ourselves on the right path moving forward and locating additional spectrum in the marketplace. I look forward to taking on this leadership role with the group, and to building further ensuring our nation's spectrum needs are fully and responsibly met.
