Earlier this month, Congressman Van Drew sent a letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr urging the Commission to reject Verizon's proposal.\n\n\"This is a good first step, and I appreciate Chairman Carr and the FCC for taking these concerns seriously,\" said Congressman Van Drew. \"People across South Jersey reached out to us because they are genuinely worried about losing a service they still depend on, especially in rural areas where cell coverage is not always reliable.
