Mignon Clyburn
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Mignon Clyburn announced today that she was stepping down from her post.
“I’ve done all I know to do. And it’s time for me to serve in another way,” said Clyburn reports Politico.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai issued the following statement today on Clyburn’s announcement that today would be her last FCC meeting as a Commissioner:
“I congratulate Commissioner Clyburn on her distinguished tenure at the FCC. She has been a tremendous leader and a committed public servant throughout her time here. As the first woman to head the agency, she led skillfully through a transition and put her stamp on the Commission, including through her steadfast leadership in telehealth, media diversity, and digital inclusion. I have enjoyed working with her and, even when we have not seen eye-to-eye on policy, I have always held her candor and thoughtfulness in the highest regard. She’s been a wonderful colleague and friend. I wish her nothing but the best and sincerely thank her for her service.”
