Cantwell Applauds Senate Confirmation of FTC Commissioners

Statement

Date: March 7, 2024

“The FTC’s role of protecting consumers, workers and small businesses has never mattered more, as Americans reported losing more than $10 billion to scammers in 2023. Today’s reconfirmation of Slaughter, and addition of Holyoak and Ferguson demonstrates that Congress expects the agency 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.”
