FCC Chair Rosenworcel Exiting In January
Earlier this week President-elect Trump announced his selection to replace Rosenworcel — current FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican and staunch Trump ally.
Chairwoman Rosenworcel issued the following statement that reads, in part, “Serving at the Federal Communications Commission has been the honor of a lifetime, especially my tenure as Chair and as the first woman in history to be confirmed to lead this agency. I want to thank President Biden for entrusting me with the responsibility to guide the FCC during a time when communications technology is a part of every aspect of civic and commercial life. Taking the oath of office on the street outside of the agency during the height of the pandemic, when so much of our day-to-day moved online, made clear how important the work of the FCC is and how essential it is for us to build a digital future that works for everyone.”
In closing, Rosenworcel said, “I also want to thank my husband, daughter, and son for their support throughout my time at the FCC. Public service is not without sacrifice, and I am looking forward to spending more time with my family and rescue pup in the days ahead.”
