MILWAUKEE — Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit Milwaukee and Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin on Thursday, Aug. 3, according to the White House.
The VP is set to first arrive in Pleasant Prairie just north of the state's border with Illinois in Kenosha County. There, the VP will meet with Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to "deliver remarks highlighting the Biden-Harris Administration’s investment in broadband and affordable connectivity," the White House said.
Then the Vice President is scheduled to be in Milwaukee to speak at two "campaign receptions."
The Pleasant Prairie effort is part of the administration's "Internet for All" plan. According to a press release from February of 2023, "...President Biden and Vice President Harris worked with Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to include a record $65 billion in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to expand “Internet for All” — so that everyone in America has access to reliable and affordable high-speed internet. The Administration also secured critical funding for affordable high-speed internet in the American Rescue Plan and general appropriations laws. The Administration’s efforts are centered around three principles—access, affordability and equity. Across the laws, Internet for All programs will build high-speed internet infrastructure, teach digital skills, and provide necessary technology to ensure that everyone in America has the access and skills they need to fully participate in today’s society."
