The Senate Commerce Committee has favorably reported the nomination of Anna Gomez to the open seat on the Federal Communications Commission, as well as the renominations of sitting commissioners Geoffrey Starks and Brendan Carr.
The vote, which came at a markup Wednesday (July 12), paves the way for a full Senate vote, something that never happened for Gomez’s predecessor as nominee for the open Democratic seat, Gigi Sohn. Her nomination was withdrawn after it was killed by Republicans, industry players and at least one Democrat who failed to support her.
