Congresswoman Matsui Statement on the Confirmation of Tom Wheeler

Congresswoman Doris Matsui (CA-06), a member of the Communications and Technology Subcommittee, released the following statement applauding the confirmation of Tom Wheeler as Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission:

"I congratulate Tom Wheeler on his confirmation as our next FCC Chairman. Tom brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the FCC that will be important for addressing many of the challenges facing America's innovation economy. Among other issues, I look forward to working closely with him to meet our spectrum demands, both with the upcoming incentive auction and through the auction of the 1755-1780MHz band, and continuing to address our nation's digital divide.

"I would also like to commend Mignon Clyburn for her strong leadership at the FCC during the interim period. She worked diligently and moved forward many important issues impacting competition and innovation in the marketplace."
