Biden Nominates Veteran Telecom Attorney Anna Gomez to Break FCC Deadlock

President Biden has nominated Anna Gomez as a Democratic commissioner for the vacant seat on the FCC to give Democrats a majority.
The FCC has been deadlocked 2-2 since January 2021, preventing action on key issues like reinstating net neutrality rules.
Gomez is a longtime telecommunications lawyer with experience at the FCC and State Department.
Biden also renominated Democratic commissioner Geoffrey Starks and Republican commissioner Brendan Carr for new five-year terms.
If confirmed, Gomez's nomination would allow the FCC to approve regulations stalled by the partisan divide, including potential rules on net neutrality.
