12/05/2018 Tweet - "From the moment President Trump's @FCC made its move to repeal #NetNeutrality, we have made our voices heard for a free and open Internet. Now, the House has just 5 days left to vote to restore #NetNeutrality rules. Keep up the pressure, keep making your voices heard."
11/29/2018 Tweet - "I urge people across the country to call on their elected leaders to support the #NetNeutrality CRA because consumer choice, innovation, economic opportunity, and the free flow of knowledge should continue to flourish on a free and open Internet."
