Biden nominated Jessica Rosenworcel as the first woman to head the FCC
For the first time, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is likely to get a woman to head the agency. President Biden has nominated incumbent Jessica Rosenworcel as permanent chairwoman. If the nomination passes in the Senate, she will be the first chairwoman. News Engadget.
This nomination by President Biden is not at all surprising. In addition to her role as incumbent, Rosen has a strong support and involvement in various White House policies, such as net neutrality. It is also a milestone for the agency.
In addition to Rosenworcel, Biden has nominated Gigi Sohn as commissioner, although the position is not yet vacant. He was a councilor to former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler.
However, the nomination is not over. In order to complete the joining, the name of Rosen Worsell has to be passed from the Senate. Republicans can certainly oppose it, because historically they are against control. At the same time, they want to take control of the FCC.
