House Commerce Committee Ranking Member Pallone Praises Commissioner Rosenworcel

House Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NJ) slammed Republicans Dec 12 for not voting on the re-confirmation of Federal Communications Commission Democratic Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel.

“Over the weekend, Senate Republicans turned their backs on consumers by failing to reconfirm FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel for a second term," Ranking Member Pallone said. The Senate exited without holding that vote, which was the decision of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). "Her integrity and advocacy has helped shape the Commission’s work over the past four years,” said Ranking Member Pallone. “Commissioner Rosenworcel has been a champion for hard-working Americans, including schoolchildren at risk of falling into the ‘homework gap.’ Her tireless efforts to protect consumers and lift up those in need exemplifies the type of first-rate public servant that Americans deserve.”
