Free State Foundation President Randolph May issued the following statement regarding President-elect Trump's intention to appoint Brendan Carr as FCC Chairman:
I congratulate Brendan Carr as President-elect Trump's choice to be the FCC's next chairman. Given his long experience at the FCC, first as a staffer and then as a commissioner, and his acknowledged expertise regarding communications law and policy, Commissioner Carr is very well-qualified to undertake his new responsibilities leading the agency come January 20.
There is much work that still needs to be done to reform communications policies so that they reflect digital age technological and marketplace realities. Enhancing consumer welfare and increasing consumer choice, along with closing remaining digital divides, can be accomplished in free market-oriented ways that minimize unnecessary costs, reduce regulatory burdens, and avoid wasteful spending. And restoring a culture of free speech consistent with the First Amendment is an important objective.
I look forward to Brendan Carr getting to work as FCC Chairman.
