Hudson. \u201cI\u2019ve made it clear to the major providers I want them here on the ground, seeing the problems firsthand, and working with us on solutions. I appreciate AT&T coming to Moore County to continue the conversation, and I\u2019ll keep working until folks see better service across our community.\u201d\n\nDuring the visit, Hudson discussed areas where residents, businesses, and visitors continue to experience weak signal, dropped calls, and unreliable service. Hudson also heard from AT&T officials about their network in the area and opportunities to improve service for customers in Moore County.\n\nBackground\n\nThe AT&T visit follows Hudson\u2019s July visit with Verizon officials and Southern Pines Mayor Taylor Clement, when Hudson brought the company to Moore County to see poor cell service firsthand. The group toured a small cell site in Aberdeen, met in downtown Southern Pines, and visited a cell tower near Moore County Airport.\n\nThat effort has already produced results. Verizon recently activated the site near Moore County Airport, improving service for Verizon customers in the surrounding area.\n\nHudson previously met with Verizon officials in December 2025 to push for better service in Moore County and across the Ninth District. As Telecom Subcommittee Chairman, Hudson will continue working with AT&T, Verizon, and other providers to improve reliable cell service across Moore County.\n\n-###-", 1, "2026-09-12T09:02:30Z", "2026-09-12T09:03:27Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hudson.house.gov/press-releases/hudson-brings-att-to-moore-county-in-continued-push-for-better-cell-service"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5272952150553465, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
