COMMISSIONER JESSICA ROSENWORCEL ANNOUNCES STAFF CHANGE:
POLICY DIRECTOR ALEX HOEHN-SARIC WILL DEPART
Federal Communications Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel announced today that her 
Policy Director, Alex Hoehn-Saric, will depart the FCC.
Commissioner Rosenworcel said of the announcement: “Alex has been one of my most 
trusted advisors and his value both to my office and to the Commission cannot be overstated.  Over 
the past year, Alex has been a force behind policies at this agency that benefit American consumers.
But for as long as I have known him, Alex has been a model public servant and his dedication to the 
public interest is an inspiration. He has a unique combination of raw intelligence, keen insight, and 
impeccable judgment. Alex also has a preternatural ability to offer calm, well-grounded counsel with 
good cheer in any situation. Beyond that, he is a good friend and I wish him only the best in his future 
endeavors.”
Alex Hoehn-Saric joined Commissioner Rosenworcel's office from the United States 
Department of Commerce, where he served as Deputy General Counsel for Strategic Initiatives. Prior 
to joining the Department of Commerce, Mr. Hoehn-Saric served as Senior Counsel for the 
Competitiveness, Innovation, and Export Subcommittee and Consumer Protection, Product Safety, 
and Insurance Subcommittee of the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation. Before joining the Committee, he served as counsel for Senator Barbara Boxer. Prior 
to working on Capitol Hill, he worked in the Washington, D.C. office of Latham & Watkins and the 
New York office of Sullivan & Cromwell. Mr. Hoehn-Saric also clerked for the Honorable Benson 
Everett Legg of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. He is a graduate of the 
University of Chicago and the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law.
