Trusty's arrival gives Republicans a 2-1 majority, the first for Carr since becoming Chairman on Jan. 20, 2025.

Following her Senate confirmation last week, Trusty is set to complete the remaining six days of previous FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel ’s term before serving her own five-year term with the Commission.

The Republican brings seven years of private communications industry experience and 13 years on Capitol Hill to her new position.

Trusty will make her debut as a Commissioner Thursday, when the FCC is set to hold an open commission meeting.
