So who is Mignon Clyburn and does she support Obama’s technology agenda?
Mignon Clyburn has been nominated to an open seat on the FCC. She would be the third Democrat on the FCC, along with Michael Copps, who serves now, and Julius Genachowski, who also awaits confirmation. The FCC is central to Obama’s tech innovation agenda–which Obama announced during the primary campaign (you can find a later version here) and which consumer groups loved. The FCC is also central to Obama’s vision of the nation innovating itself out of this recession/depression.
