Fresh off of her excursion to Barcelona to deliver a short keynote address at the GSMA’s MWC 2022, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has made an addition to the Office of Legislative Affairs.
She’s welcoming a Director to the office.
Brian Moulton will serve as the Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs
“As evidenced by recent legislative action, Congress continues to entrust the FCC with important responsibilities,” Rosenworcel commented. “From ensuring families can afford their internet bills to securing our telecommunications networks, it remains essential that the agency maintain a responsive and transparent relationship with Congress. Brian’s extensive experience and unique skillset will be a great asset to the commission and these efforts.”
The Office of Legislative Affairs is the primary liaison to Congress, providing lawmakers with information regarding FCC regulatory decisions, answers to policy questions, assistance with constituent concerns and responses to Congressional inquiries.
Previously, Moulton served as Senior Counsel to Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.), advising her on education, judiciary and telecommunications matters. In that role, he supported the senator’s work on the Broadband DATA Act and the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, among other priorities.
Prior to his work in the Senate, Moulton was legal director for Human Rights Campaign, where he worked with Congress and the Executive Branch to advance the interests of LGBTQ people and their families.
In related news, Trent Harkrader will lead the FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau as Chief following Kris Monteith’s retirement from federal service.
