WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senators John Thune (R-S.D.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) have called on Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to abandon a proposal they claim infringes on free political speech. In their letter, the senators argue that the FCC lacks broad authority over political advertising and that the proposal would place unreasonable burdens on local broadcasters and cable companies.
