FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington will resign at the end of this week, wrapping up his term that started in 2020.
His departure intensifies the need for the Senate to confirm Olivia Trusty to fill a vacant seat, preserving the Republican majority on the Commission. Trusty's confirmation is still pending.
In a Wednesday statement, Simington described his FCC tenure as “the greatest honor of my professional life” and thanked colleagues, particularly FCC Chair Brendan Carr and the Commission staff, noting the agency is in capable hands under Carr’s leadership.
Simington highlighted his focus on protecting free expression, enhancing national security, and encouraging communications infrastructure investment. He expressed gratitude to his team, naming over a dozen staff members for their dedication.
He reaffirmed his commitment to limited government, free speech, and innovation, vowing to continue advocating for these principles in the private sector.
“I remain dedicated to shaping communications policy and advancing the values that have guided my public service,” Simington said.
