The Senate confirmed Republican Olivia Trusty to serve on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Tuesday, installing another nominee by President Donald Trump and ending the brief lack of quorum at the agency.

Roger Wicker (R-MS), who previously served as the top Republican on the Commerce Committee, which oversees the FCC and related issues. “I have known Olivia for years and have been very impressed with her strong background in communications policy, which will be a great asset to this agency,” Gomez wrote in a statement.
