Sen. Cantwell Looks to 'Firm Up' Sohn Confirmation Vote

Senate Commerce Committee Chairwoman Maria Cantwell (D-WA) is still looking to hold a confirmation vote for FCC nominee Gigi Sohn sometime soon. Although Chairwoman Cantwell had hoped to hold a vote in January, a spokesperson said "because the [Senate] recess [a planned January 17-21 "state work period"] was moved to next week," the Chairwoman is now hoping to "have something confirmed at some point next week."
