Sen. Roger Wicker announces a grant that will go toward expanding broadband internet to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
Kobee Vance, MPB News

Broadband access has been a key policy priority for Senator Roger Wicker.  Over the last few years, the Republican has made many stops in the state promoting the benefits of stronger and more accessible Internet - especially in rural communities.  And yesterday, he was back in Jackson to meet with state and national stakeholders about the latest investment in broadband infrastructure -  a grant that will help connect approximately 2,200 homes on Mississippi’s Choctaw Reservation.

During his visit, Senator Wicker also addressed other matters of national and local interest - including his decision to vote against the Inflation Reduction Act.
