COMMISSIONER COPPS CONGRATULATES JESSICA ROSENWORCEL AND AJIT 
PAI ON THEIR NOMINATIONS TO THE COMMISSION
“The President’s nominations today hold the promise of achieving a full five-member 
Commission before the year is out. I congratulate both nominees.
“I know first-hand what a gifted public servant Jessica Rosenworcel is because she worked in my 
office in a number of capacities, including senior Legal Adviser. Her experience here, combined 
with her current Congressional work, give her a perspective on telecom and media issues both 
wide and deep. Her dedication, intelligence, and practical good judgment make her an ideal 
choice for Commissioner. As I look forward to completing my term here at the Commission, it 
is with great pride that I see a former colleague and member of my team nominated for this seat.
“I have also had the pleasure of working with Ajit Pai while he served in the Commission’s 
Office of General Counsel. During that time, he provided valuable counsel on many of the 
complex matters coming before the Commission. Ajit’s experience, both at the agency and on 
Capitol Hill, prepares him well for the many urgent telecom and media challenges confronting 
the Commission.
“I wish both Jessica and Ajit well as they navigate the confirmation process, and I commend the 
President on the quality of his nominees.”
