NORTHEAST OHIO, June 12, 2026—Today, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is in Northeast Ohio for events with some of America’s hardworking tower crews, broadband builders, and local broadcasters.  These visits follow stops Chairman Carr made in Central Ohio yesterday that focused on American Drone Dominance and public safety communications.  Carr will be joined today by members of the Ohio Congressional delegation.

Chairman Carr issued the following statement:

“It’s great to be back in Ohio today, visiting with some of America’s hardworking tower workers, broadband builders, and local broadcasters.  With President Trump’s leadership and the FCC’s Build America Agenda, we are putting policies in place that will continue to accelerate Internet infrastructure builds and empower broadcasters to serve their communities.  Across Ohio, Internet speeds are up and competition is stronger than ever.  The FCC will keep working until the job is done.

“I want to thank Senator Bernie Moreno as well as Representatives Bob Latta, Dave Joyce, and Michael Rulli for hosting me in the Buckeye State today, as they continue to deliver great wins for Ohio.”

Additional Background:

On his first stop today, Chairman Carr will join Congressman Dave Joyce at a broadband build.

Next, he will travel to Youngstown for the 2026 Tough Tower Competition.  There, Chairman Carr will present awards to some of the nation’s top tower technicians alongside Congressman Michael Rulli. 

In the afternoon, the Chairman will tour a local TV station to visit with broadcasters alongside Senator Bernie Moreno.

Finally, he will join Congressman Bob Latta at a broadband construction site.

These visits follow Chairman Carr’s tour, yesterday, of Anduril Industries’ Arsenal-1 hyperscale manufacturing facility in Pickaway County—at the cutting-edge of America’s drone industrial base.  He also visited the city of Columbus’ 911 emergency communications center, yesterday, and their great team of life-saving specialists.
