gillen. my district in southern indiana is largely rural minute by small towns and cities i'm certainly proud of the work i did in the state senate rural parts of the state, but the truth is we continue to lag behind the coast in urban areas and access to the internet and the tools spectrum can provide. how can your company's use of spectrum help with closing the digital divide for rural america? mr. gillen: thank you for the question. earlier today released a report that 100 megahertz of spectrum available and help create access for 275,000 households that don't have it today. so the opportunity project with the 5g home products get to places broadbent is not 2otten to 2et. we get to roughly 40% of houses without any help. that the benefit of that opportunity, we will see that happen real time. with spectrum we can continually provide more and more coverage throughout the area. >> great. mr. powell, do you have anything in addition to that to add about how the company can help close the digi

house is democrat laura gillen of new york. she had a career as a commercial litigator and has served as town supervisor in hempstead, new york. rep. dent: if guillen talks about how she was able to flip the fourth congressional district in new york from republican to democrat. rep. gillen: we worked relentlessly, learned our lessons from the 2022 campaign, and had a longer runway to raise the resources we needed and made sure we had a really aggressive constituency and organizing program. we knocked on over 300,000 doors and made sure we communicated my message to the voters and inspired them to vote for me. >> tell us more about your background, how you grew up, family, experiences. rep. gillen: i actually was born in the district, grew up in the district. did a little time here in d.c. when i went to georgetown for undergrad and my first year of law school, then move back to the district right before i had my second child and have been living there since. i have deep roots there, raising four children there, and very much in

gillen, goldman, no lipo, and sarah l frith. our code democrat sarah mcbride is an at-large member of the u.s. house representing the state of delaware. she was national press secretary for the human rights campaign before winning the seat. representative mcbride is also the first openly transgender member of congress. she talks about her career and getting started on capitol hill. >> my journey to serving the entirety of the great state of delaware really started being born and raised in delaware. in so many ways, just getting here has been a journey of ups and downs, a journey that started in my own crisis of hope. i think for this congress, for our politics nationally, the biggest challenge we face is this country faces its own crisis of hope, rooted in the fear we no longer have the individual or collective capacity to meet the scope and scale of challenges we face, and we increasingly see a politics and congress that isn't rising to the occasion to deliver for people and is increasingly toxic and unwilling to have sometimes

gillen. reportd and cia concluded three gigahertz band could not be cleared for exclusive use. i kinda want to talk through a sharing model or segment model and really what i want to hear what needs to happen, especially from dod what do we need dod to come back with? what settings are we expecting that to happen i am familiar with this band and of using a professional career i want to get to the bottom of where we need to go process wise. >> absolutely. i think there's been a misunderstanding to everybody what her goal is to think at the lower at three gigahertz spectrum is 358 megahertz that's almost as much spectrum as 5g has available for. no one thanks all the radar should go away but that's a bad idea to much of this conversation is we you $200 million in 20 years to do something that no one is asking them to do. ultimately we need to get to a place we think segmentation makes the most sense about what round what's happening globally we look at the top 150 in the top 150 what systems? t

next, sarah mcbride, jefferson shreve, laura gillen, goldman, no lipo, and sarah l frith.

gillen: it is truly shocking that in 2025 we have to defend americans' access to birth control and the ability to decide when they start a family. but the attacks on reproductive freedom keep coming. four out of five people in this country oppose these attempts to restrict our autonomy and our freedom. and we must fight back. that means making sure that the right to access to contraception is codified into law. i'm proud to co-sponsor h.r. 999, the right to contraception act. and i will continue to fight to defend women's and families' freedom to make their own personal health care decisions. this should not be partisan. preserving our freedom is american. thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina seek recognition? mr. davis: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. davis: mr. speaker, after meeting with sheriffs, prosecutors and families from

gillen: families across my district have experienced unimaginable pain and suffering from losing their loved ones to this deadly drug. a family in my district just a year ago dropped off their precious child to college and went back a week later to pick up their child's body because of fentanyl. we must get fentanyl off our streets and away from our kids. the crisis has killed americans of every age, every background, and every walk of life. a single ounce of fentanyl can have a devastating effect upon a community. it's time we take on the cartels and hold traffickers accountable. the d.e.a., the fraternal order of police, and countless other law enforcement groups said the halt fentanyl act will improve subject safety and save lives. it shouldn't take more overdose deaths and more grieving families and criminals skirting persecution to take action. it's time. enough is enough and i'm proud to support this bipartisan bill today and urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in that. i also urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to find ways we can work together

gillen: i went to visit a friend who was a chinese major and went to visit her and did some travelingith her and was her sister and got the travel bug and decided i was going to go explore more of the world while i was single and in my 20's and had the opportunity to do that. but i did want to have a focal point for my travel, so i found a book called "volunteer vacations" and looked for different volunteer opportunities and found you could show up in calcutta and you want to work for mother teresa, you can. that was the focal point of my trip. reporter: what did you do for mother teresa and what was the overall experience like for you? ms. gillen: i worked in her home for the dying and your task there could be anything from cooking breakfast, cleaning up, bathing patients, feeding patients, providing comfort to the patients, doing the laundrie, all kinds of tasks. where there are people willing to work they'll give you something to do. you go there to give but get so much more. it was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. >> born and raised in fort worth, a fifth generat
