Dear Mr. Chairman and Senator Cantwell,
I am writing on behalf of the members of the Fraternal Order of Police to advise you of our support for the nomination of Arielle Roth to serve as the Administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
She currently serves as the Policy Director of this Committee, so I am sure you both are very familiar with her work. Before coming to the Senate, she also spent over three years at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in various roles. She is an expert in telecommunications and spectrum-related issues who is well-versed in the communications needs of law enforcement, especially with respect to the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN). She is a proven leader and advocate, and she would have our full support and confidence on day one.
On behalf of the more than 377,000 members of the Fraternal Order of Police, I urge the Committee to swiftly send Ms. Roth’s nomination to be the next Administrator of NTIA to the Senate floor for confirmation. If I can provide any additional information about her, please do not hesitate to contact me or Executive Director Jim Pasco in our Washington, D.C. office.
Sincerely,
Patrick Yoes
National President
