Nathan Alexander Simington (born January 31, 1979)[1] is a commissioner of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Prior to that, he had worked as an associate at Mayer Brown, Kirkland & Ellis, and Chapman and Cutler,[2] and as legal counsel at Brightstar Corporation.

After working at Brightstar Corporation, Simington served in the Department of Commerce for five months, until President Trump announced the nomination of Simington as an FCC commissioner, shortly after Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Jim Inhofe cancelled the second confirmation hearing before the United States Senate for the acting commissioner, Michael O'Rielly.

[5][6] Nominated in September, Simington's Senate approval was fast-tracked,[7] with a confirmation hearing expected to be held before the end of December.

[12] According to Bloomberg Law, he was met with a generally mixed response, including only "lukewarm support" from Republican members, casting doubts as to whether he could be confirmed before President-Elect Joseph Biden would assume office.
