I was unable to be physically present for votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 698, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 699, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 700, ``nay'' on rollcall No. 701, ``yea'' on rollcall No. 702…

The FCC should be protecting those voices, not giving the nation’s largest station owners and the Trump Administration more power over them.
