SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 18, 2023 | SaltWireWASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee voted on Wednesday to send three nominations for the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to the full Senate.
Lawmakers voted by a voice vote to send to the Senate floor the renomination of Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat, along with the nominations of two Republicans, Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, the solicitors general of Virginia and Utah, respectively, a congressional aide said.If confirmed by the Senate, as expected, adding the two Republicans will not change the balance of power at the five-member FTC, which also enforces antitrust law.
In a hearing in mid-September, the three nominees agreed that the deceptive use of artificial intelligence should be a priority for the FTC in a show of bipartisanship on the popular issue. The agreement was striking given previous partisan battles at the agency. A previous Republican FTC commissioner, Christine Wilson, quit this year and sharply criticized agency leadership.
