WASHINGTON, Jan. 15, 2025 – One of the leading progressives in the House will not have direct oversight of telecommunications policy.

Following her appointment to the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was not chosen to serve on the House Communications and Technology Subcommittee. Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr., D-N.J., announced Tuesday all Democratic members selected to Energy and Commerce Subcommittees.

Ocasio-Cortez was selected to serve on the House Energy and Commerce Committee last Thursday. In 2019, AOC helped kill Amazon's plan to build a new regional headquarters in Queens near her district. Then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said AOC cost the city 25,000 new jobs.
