Khan Welcomes Republican Commissioners to FTC

FTC Chair Lina Khan on Friday welcomed newly confirmed Commissioners Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak (see 2403070072), saying she looks forward to working “vigorously” with them on competition and consumer protection issues. Khan also welcomed the Senate's reconfirmation of Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter. Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said Congress expects the full commission to “prioritize pressing issues, such as bringing transparency to rising prescription drug costs, enforcing online privacy, cracking down on junk fees and returning money to victims of fraud.”
