Thune chairs the Senate's Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which oversees both the Federal Communications Commission and internet policy. He's been critical of Democrats' use of a legislative loophole called the Congressional Review Act, which gives Congress 60 legislative days to undo regulation. Democrats in the House and Senate are trying to use it to turn back a repeal of strict net neutrality rules adopted by the FCC in 2015.
Sen. John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota, voted against a Democrat-led resolution this week to stop the FCC's repeal of Obama-era net neutrality protections.
