Net neutrality foe Marsha Blackburn gets 85% of the vote in GOP Senate primary

US Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is a step closer to the US Senate after winning yesterday’s Tennessee Republican primary.

Blackburn has been one of the most prominent opponents of net neutrality rules in the House of Representatives, where she chairs a key subcommittee that oversees telecommunications.

Her primary win was no surprise—she took 84.5 percent of the vote, with 610,884 votes, easily defeating Republican Aaron Pettigrew, who had no previous political experience.
