  Today @POTUS designated me Acting Chairwoman of the @FCC. I am honored and excited to lead this great agency. Now more than ever we need to expand the reach of communications opportunity for all of us. We have a lot of work to do and I can't wait to get started.

  BREAKING: President Biden has selected @JRosenworcel to lead the FCC as acting chair. I dug into her history at the agency and what to expect for the future of hugely important issues like net neutrality and broadband access https://www.nbcnews.com/...

  Over the years, I've been proud to work with @JRosenworcel to tackle the homework gap and bridge the digital divide in New Mexico and across the nation. As Acting Chair of the @FCC, I know that she'll hit the ground running to better connect all Americans. https://www.nbcnews.com…

  Jessica is a tireless advocate for net neutrality and solving the “homework gap,” in ensuring kids of all economic backgrounds benefit from tech. She's also a wonderful smart and enjoyable human being. So happy for her and our country! https://twitter.com/...

• @repannaeshoo Rep. Anna G. Eshoo on x

  Great choice! @JRosenworcel is the perfect person to Chair the FCC. She is a champion for net neutrality, public safety, closing the homework gap, and protecting consumers. She will be a great source for good in our country. Congrats @JRosenworcel! https://twitter.com/...

• @scott_wiener Senator Scott Wiener on x

  When I authored California's net neutrality law, Jessica Rosenworcel supported our effort. She totally got it. Now she's running the FCC. Big win for consumers & an open internet. https://arstechnica.com/...

  Congratulations @JRosenworcel on being named Acting @FCC chair. We look forward to the commission's continued work to expand broadband access to American businesses and consumers https://twitter.com/...

  “'Let's roar. Let's make a ruckus. Let's stop this plan in its tracks,' she tweeted in 2017, when Pai released his plan to rescind the net neutrality rules.” https://www.nbcnews.com/...

• @sen_joemanchin Senator Joe Manchin on x

  Congratulations @JRosenworcel on your well-deserved appointment as acting chairwoman of @FCC. Broadband is essential, and as you have seen firsthand, rural areas like #WV have been left behind for far too long. I look forward to working together to bridge the digital divide. http…

  Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel, who was last confirmed by Senate to FCC in August 2017 by voice vote, will now serve as Acting FCC Chair in the Biden Admin. She previously served on the FCC May 2012-January 2017. https://twitter.com/...

• @craignewmark Craig Newmark on x

  This is great news, and to repeat on at least my behalf, not tired of winning! https://twitter.com/...

• @willoremus Will Oremus on x

  Biden's just-announced pick to lead the FCC is a big proponent of net neutrality, and of expanding broadband access, especially for families of kids who need the internet for school. She's also a podcaster. Good profile by @aprilaser. https://twitter.com/...

• @ezranbc Ezra Kaplan on x

  A great primer on the new head of the FCC. Lots of questions about what this administration will prioritize, but the FCC will surely be at the center of some of the biggest tech decisions. Excellent work by @aprilaser https://www.nbcnews.com/...

  Congratulations Chairwoman! https://twitter.com/...

• @aprilaser April Glaser on x

  ISPs have been careful to not overtly use the power granted under Trump's FCC to throttle internet traffic after public outcry for undoing net neutrality. In the 9 yrs Rosenworcel has been a commissioner at the FCC, she's been steadfast on the need for strong net neutrality rules…

• @aprilaser April Glaser on x

  Commissioner Rosenworcel has been a massive champion of restoring net neutrality rules and also coined the term “The Homework Gap” back in 2014 to describe the gap between students who need the internet to do their homework but don't have access at home https://www.nbcnews.com/..…

• @wgawest @wgawest on x

  Congratulations @JRosenworcel on being named acting @FCC Chair! As a staunch consumer advocate, defender of net neutrality, and friend to writers, we look forward to working with her on the many pressing issues we face. https://twitter.com/...

• @josephfcox Joseph Cox on x

  This is likely to be a pretty impactful appointment. Rosenworcel consistently pushes for privacy etc. https://twitter.com/...

• @tonyromm Tony Romm on x

  NEW: Biden selects Jessica Rosenworcel as acting chair of FCC. She's a big net neutrality supporter who has spent years calling on govt to do more to close the digital divide. Earlier, Biden picked Rebecca Kelly Slaughter as acting chair of the FCC. https://www.washingtonpost.com…

  Ajit caused more harm than not during his tenure. glad to see him gone. https://twitter.com/...

• @willoremus Will Oremus on x

  Biden's pick for acting FTC chair, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, has vocally pushed for tougher antitrust enforcement against tech giants. She will take over the Facebook antitrust case and Amazon antitrust investigation, at least for now. @tonyromm reports: https://www.washingtonpost…

• @gordonachaffin Gordon Chaffin on x

  This is a fantastic choice. I spend some of the 2010s in telecom land and she's been fighting for more equitable, faster broadband access since she was appointed to the Commission. She knows 5G wireless won't fix everything. She knows it's about fiber, rural, muni, etc. https://t…
