Butterfield | B001251 | web.archive.org | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC– Congressman Butterfield (NC-01) announced today that he has been appointed to the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, which he previously served on during the 111th Congress. This appointment fills the vacancy created by Massachusetts Senator Edward Markey election to the US Senate. Last week, Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Henry Waxman recommended Butterfield for the subcommittee post. “I thank my good friend and colleague Ranking Member Henry Waxman for nominating me to serve on the Communications and Technology Subcommittee,” said Butterfield. “I rejoin this important subcommittee at a time where strong but flexible communications and technology policies are needed to aid national security, improve economic development, and ensure privacy. I look forward to working with my fellow committee members to meet our nation’s most pressing communications and technological challenges.” The Communications and Technology Subcommittee oversees all electronic communications including mobile, broadcast, cable, satellite and emergency and public safety communications as well as cyber and data security and privacy. The subcommittee also has jurisdiction over the Federal Communications Commission and National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Butterfield plans to use this new post to push for better broadband connectivity for rural America, a nationwide first responders’ network, and to promote policies that spur job creation and economic growth. Butterfield has been a member of the influential House Energy and Commerce Committee since 110th Congress. He also serves on the Subcommittees on Health and Oversight and Investigations. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
