Nathan Simington

Team up with civil society groups to press point as Senate confirmation vote looms

Could get vote early next week

FCC commissioner Brendan Carr is urging Congress to confirm fellow Republican and FCC commissioner nominee Nathan Simington so they can stall the Democratic FCC out of the gait.

Confirmation would mean 2-2 FCC once Pai leaves and until third Dem is confirmed

The President has made it official Wednesday (Sept. 16), sending to the Senate the nomination of Nathan Simington for the Republican FCC seat of Michael O'Rielly, whose term has expired.
