COMPTEL CEO Jerry James will continue to provide leadership over the group's public policy initiatives and will assume the day-to-day responsibilities. James, a former president of Grande Communications, and Salmon, a former Republican congressman from Arizona, both joined COMPTEL in 2007. Salmon also notably lost a 2002 gubernatorial race against Janet Napolitano, who now serves as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. "It has been a pleasure working with Matt over the past year," James said in a press release. "We appreciate his hard work and dedication and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors." James affirmed that the nearly 30-year-old association remains strong and will continue advocating for its members before Congress, the FCC and the courts.
