Clyburn Announces Tuesday's FCC Monthly Meeting Will Be Her Last

FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn said Tuesday's monthly meeting will be her last. "This has been the most incredible opportunity for me," she said in emotional comments following agency approval of six items. While she said she hasn't always agreed with colleagues, she thanked them and others, and noted she doesn't have her post-FCC "path all laid out" yet.

Clyburn received an ovation and colleagues thanked Clyburn for her service and dedication. "We’re going to miss you," said Commissioner Mike O'Rielly. "I just want to say goodbye to a real dynamo" and "partner in the public interest," said Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel. Commissioner Brendan Carr thanked Clyburn for her public service. Chairman Ajit Pai said he agreed with his colleagues' statements and added: "Your legacy is a very rich one."
