President to Name Jessica Rosenworcel for New FCC Term:

In a low-key announcement on June 13, President Donald Trump indicated that he plans to nominate former FCC Commission member Jessica Rosenworcel to fill the open Democratic slot on the FCC. Rosenworcel served on the Commission from 2012 to 2016, leaving at the end of last year after the US Senate was unable to extend her term before time ran out on that session of Congress. Rosenworcel has been a vocal supporter of net neutrality and supported rules drafted by then-FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler that would treat internet providers more like utilities. The FCC's new Republican Chairman, Ajit Pai, has reversed course on that initiative.
