Washington – This week, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) introduced legislation to honor the 100th anniversary of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). The CTA is the trade association representing the $505 billion U.S. consumer technology industry, which supports more than 18 million U.S. jobs.

H. Res. 1144, introduced by Rep. Issa, acknowledges CTA’s milestones, advocacy, and leading contributions towards advancing American technological innovation over the last century. Rep. Issa, a former Chairman of CTA’s predecessor, the Consumer Electronics Association, expressed his gratitude and admiration for the organization's achievements over the years.

In his statement, Rep. Issa remarked, "For a century, CTA has created and convened the platform and the people who bring the hopes, dreams, and possibilities of technology to life." He highlighted the CTA's role in inspiring innovation, promoting the best ideas, and advocating for technological progress while upholding core values such as human connection, competition, and using technology for the greater good.

Acknowledging the partnership and friendship with CTA, Rep. Issa expressed optimism for the future, stating, "I thank the CTA for its partnership and its friendship – and now it's on to century two."
