U.S. Chamber Letter Supporting the Rosenworcel Nomination to be FCC Chair

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE:

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports the nomination of Jessica Rosenworcel to serve as Chair of the Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Chairwoman Rosenworcel is a well-qualified nominee and has a long record of public service, including as an FCC Commissioner since 2012 and Acting Chairwoman of the Commission since January 2021. The FCC plays a crucial role in ensuring that all Americans are connected in the 21st century digital economy and in protecting American global leadership in a vibrant communications marketplace. As the FCC carries out its responsibilities, it is critical that a permanent Chair is in place.

The Chamber looks forward to working with Acting Chairwoman Rosenworcel as FCC Chair. We support Senate confirmation of her nomination.

Sincerely,

Neil L. Bradley

Executive Vice President, Chief Policy Officer, and Head of Strategic Advocacy
