Nathan Simington officially became an FCC Commissioner yesterday after he was sworn in by FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.
The ceremony was a virtual event since the FCC continues to work remotely due to COVID-19 concerns.
His five year term was back-dated to July 1, 2019 when Commissioner Michael O’Rielly’s term was scheduled to end. O’Reilly was nominated for another five year term, but President Trump axed the nomination and nominated Simington who was confirmed by the Senate last week over strong objections from Democrats.
