FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington Announces Departure
June 4, 2025 – Federal Communications Commission Commissioner (FCC) Nathan Simington has announced he is leaving his position at the FCC:
I will be concluding my tenure at the Federal Communications Commission at the end of this week. It has been the greatest honor of my professional life to serve the American people as a Commissioner. I am deeply honored to have been entrusted with this responsibility by President Donald J. Trump during his first term.
Following Commissioner Simington’s departure, the FCC will only have two members: Chairman Brendan Carr and Commissioner Anna Gomez. Commissioner Geoffrey Starks will officially leave the FCC on June 6th. In January, President Trump nominated Olivia Trusty to serve as an FCC Commissioner. She is awaiting Senate confirmation. Under the Communications Act, the FCC needs three Commissioners for a quorum.
