As noted in a statement released by the FCC, today, January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an order designating Brendan Carr as the new Chairman of the Commission. Congratulations to Chairman Carr, and best wishes for success in steering the agency into new direction for federal communications policy.
Chairman Carr has many times been a speaker at prior Free State Foundation Annual Conferences, including #FSF16 – FSF's 16th Annual Conference held in Washington, D.C. on March 12, 2024, where then-Commissioner Carr was part of the keynote conversation, "TMT with Mike O'Rielly."
Also, as widely reported on January 16, President Trump intends to nominate Olivia Trusty to fill the vacant position member position on the Commission. Thus, congratulations also are due to Ms. Trusty. Members of the Senate should promptly conduct a committee hearing on her nomination and bring her nomination to a vote.
