"Senate Confirms Anna Gomez, Breaking Partisan Split and Resolving FCC Deadlock"

The Senate has confirmed Anna Gomez as President Biden's pick for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), breaking a years-long deadlock and giving Democrats the majority on the five-member commission. Gomez's confirmation will enable the FCC to carry out major agenda items, including reinstating net neutrality regulations and implementing more aggressive oversight of the telecommunications sector. The delay in confirming a Democratic majority has hindered the FCC's ability to protect Americans from potential abuse by telecom giants. Gomez, an FCC veteran, will become the first Latina to serve on the commission since 2001.
