Quotable
“I look forward to working in the public interest with my colleagues Commissioners Carr, Rosenworcel, and Starks, as well as the President-elect’s new nominee. Our mandate at the Commission is to work for the benefit of all Americans. Should we disagree on some issues, we would do well to remember Thomas Jefferson’s words at the time of another presidential transition, the first in which the Administration changed parties: ‘… every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have called by different names brethren of the same principle.’”
— FCC commissioner Nathan Simington’s statement on the events at the Capitol and the peaceful transition of power
