Reading the letters, they are only signed by two Democratic members of the house. They are both on the committee for communications and technology, but they only represent 2 of 28 voting representatives.

This really feels more like a publicity stunt on their part to please their constituents than some sort of concerted effort by the Democratic party, but perhaps someone with more insight on congress could enlighten me.

No, you probably have it right. House members pretty regularly do weird performative things they don't really expect to lead anywhere; it's increasingly seen as part of the job.
