The Senate confirmed Republican Brendan Carr and Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel Thursday to the final two seats on the Federal Communications Commission, after several months of no one filling the positions.

President Donald Trump nominated Carr and Rosenworcel in June. They join Republican FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, Democratic Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, and Republican Michael O’Rielly at the agency, completing the traditional five-seat board.

“I am really excited to have Brendan and Jessica working at the FCC soon as Commissioners. They are both talented public servants,” Pai told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview. “I have the chance to get to know each of them very well over my time at the Commission. I am really optimistic about the skills and the dedication they bring to the table. They both know these issues pretty well, whether it’s wireless, or public safety, or the like.”

The pro net neutrality crowd must be up in arms over Jessica Rosenworcel being confirmed!  She is A dem that they consider a shill for big biddness.

So the FCC won't let me be or let me be me so let me see...

So the only reason the posts were vacant for 'months' is that Trump didn't nominate someone till June. 

A June to early August confirmation timeline isn't exactly a case of Congress dragging their feet.
