WASHINGTON – Competitiveness Coalition Chair Scott Brown today applauded news of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) becoming chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, specifically citing his tireless efforts holding the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and its Chair, Lina Khan, accountable:

“I would like to extend my deepest congratulations to Sen. Ted Cruz as he takes the gavel of the powerful Senate Commerce Committee. As ranking member, he was tireless in his efforts combating the politicized, anti-growth direction of the Commission under Lina Khan. Now I am excited to see him continue this vital work ensuring that our antitrust policy prioritizes consumer welfare rather than the reflexive hostility the Biden Administration has demonstrated toward American innovators, and root out the deep state leftists actors seeking to shackle our job creators with punitive measures that undermine our competitive global standing.”

For nearly three years, the Competitiveness Coalition has been sounding the alarm on the FTC’s egregious overreach and concerning actions.
