Washington, D.C. - House Energy and Commerce Republican Leader Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) issued the following statement congratulating Doreen Bogdan-Martin on her successful election to lead the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
“ITU members overwhelmingly made the right choice today by electing U.S. candidate Doreen Bogdan-Martin as the first female Secretary-General of the ITU. This is a huge moment for American tech leadership and the future of a free and open internet across the globe.
