WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 2025 – A group of GOP policy experts, including a few former commissioners at the Federal Communications Commission, have expressed their support for Olivia Trusty to become the newest commissioner.

Conservative policy groups and leaders voiced their strong support for Trusty – a Senate communication policy aide announced for the FCC job by President Donald Trump four days before he was sworn in – in a letter Wednesday.

Among the signatories were former Republican FCC Commissioners Michael O’Rielly and Harold Furchtgott-Roth; Executive Director of the Digital First Project Nathan Leamer; and Foundation for American Innovation Senior Fellow Evan Swarztrauber.
