Senate Commerce Committee Advances Roth Nomination to NTIA

The Senate Commerce Committee advanced Arielle Roth’s nomination to head the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Senators voted 16-12 along party lines in favor of Roth, with all the committee’s Republicans in favor. John Fetterman (D-PA) switched his vote from no to yes by proxy after the fact, with every other Democrat opposing her nomination. Roth’s nomination will now go to the full Senate.
