Rep. Hudson To Chair House Communications And Technology Subcommittee

Pledges a ‘commonsense approach’ under his leadership as head of the subcommittee

By Jericho Casper

Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., will lead the key House subcommittee that keeps a close watch on federal communications regulators and a range of industry participants, including broadband Internet Service Providers.

Hudson, likely starting Jan. 3, will head the House Communications and Technology Subcommittee, a post he was given by incoming Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Rep. Brett Guthrie, R.Ky.

Guthrie, who announced the subcommittee chairs on Dec. 19, named Rep. Rick Allen, R-Ga., vice chair of the Communications Subcommittee to serve alongside Hudson.
