STATEMENT OF BRENDAN CARR
On Being Sworn in as a Commissioner of the FCC
WASHINGTON, August 11, 2017—It is a tremendous honor and privilege to serve as a 
Commissioner of the FCC.  I am grateful to President Trump for nominating me and to the United 
States Senate for confirming me to serve the American public in this capacity.
I have had the privilege of working at the agency for over five years, and that experience 
has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the FCC’s work and its talented staff.  Whether it is 
promoting broadband deployment, maintaining the United States’ leadership in wireless, or 
advancing public safety, I look forward to hitting the ground running and working with my 
colleagues at the Commission to serve the public interest.
