Rosenworcel will be the first female leader of the Federal Communications Commission
President Joe Biden is expected to name Jessica Rosenworcel chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission. She has been the acting chairperson since January and will be the first woman to permanently serve in the role. The news of her impending promotion was first reported by the New York Times, which added that Rosenworcel has “campaigned vigorously for a permanent appointment.” A nomination is only the first step toward making her job permanent. The Senate would need to vote to confirm her.
