Evidence
The infrastructure issue page says Brown will champion more infrastructure investment and notes that Ohio has received $5 million through the BEAD program to help provide access to high-speed internet across the state.
The same infrastructure page also lists an 'ACP Signup Events with Special Guests from the FCC' item and says the office helps people pay for internet service or devices like tablets or laptops.
Assessments
Brown’s promise was to fight for broadband resources, not to single-handedly complete universal buildout. In office, she cast a documented House vote on November 5, 2021 in favor of H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which became law on November 15, 2021 and included major federal broadband funding. Her official House infrastructure page also ties her record to that law’s Ohio broadband results, including BEAD funding and Affordable Connectivity Program enrollment, and shows constituent outreach to help residents access internet assistance. Because the office-context standard gives credit for a representative materially advancing the promised federal resources, this is best scored as delivered in the same term, even though the broader goal of connecting every community remains an ongoing implementation project.
