President Joe Biden nominated two liberals to fill out the Federal Communications Commission Tuesday, attempting to move the agency in a significantly more liberal direction that will likely result in restoring net neutrality rules and heightened telecommunications regulations.

Biden named Jessica Rosenworcel to be chairwoman and Gigi Sohn to be a commissioner. A White House press release described Rosenworcel as “a champion for connectivity for all.”
