STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER JESSICA ROSENWORCEL
ON CHAIRMAN WHEELER’S DEPARTURE ANNOUNCEMENT
WASHINGTON, December 15, 2016. — Making change in Washington is not for the 
faint of heart, but the Federal Communications Commission accomplished much under 
Chairman Tom Wheeler’s watch.  It’s been a privilege to work with the Chairman and I’d 
like to thank him for his service to the Commission and to the country.  He brought a 
long history of experience in the communications sector to the job and proved himself to 
be a serious advocate for his positions and for consumers.  His tenure at the agency will 
not soon be forgotten and I wish him the best in the future.
