Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) sees room for bipartisanship on telecom policy despite raising alarms about the direction of the Commerce Department and the Federal Communications Commission.

We recently caught up with the New Mexico Democrat to discuss where he sees compromise opportunities in his new job as ranking member in the Senate Commerce Committee’s telecommunications and media panel.
