After the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided to gut net neutrality rules, I co-sponsored Senate Bill 2, "An act concerning internet service providers and net neutrality principles," which would further protect Connecticut consumers from the agency's decision.

State Rep. Josh Elliott voted 417 times during the 2017 legislative session, earning him a 100 percent voting record.
