WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2026 – Rep. **Greg Landsman**, D-Ohio, said Wednesday that bipartisanship is going to be essential to getting permitting reform through Congress over the next few years.

He was speaking at the INCOMPAS Policy Summit here. Landsman is co-sponsor of the [“Broadband and Telecommunications RAIL Act”,](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/6046?s=2&r=1&q=%7B%22search%22:%22Broadband+and+Telecommunications+RAIL+Act%22%7D&ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) which unanimously passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee on December 3, 2025.

He said he thought some bills on permitting – the bipartisan ones, like his – will move forward and become law.

Landsman noted that bipartisan approaches to permitting reform work because they get policy right through a natural process of debate and compromise. They also prevent future partisan attempts to add in extra requirements.

Landsman said he agreed that it has gotten too difficult for America to build quickly or to build anything at all. One of his biggest priorities, he said, is to get the country building again.

“The vision of connecting every American \[to broadband\] is so important,” Landsman said.
