Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), widely seen as a crucial swing vote on the Sohn nomination, to lobby on FCC nominations.AT&T spokesperson Alex Byers told The Post in a statement in May, “We have not taken a position on Gigi Sohn’s nomination, have not asked any third-party organization to take a position, and have not funded any campaigns against her nomination.” Congressional Republicans have called into question Sohn’s commitment to bipartisanship, citing her old tweets criticizing conservative news outlet Fox News."
