On Thursday, March 7, 2024, the U.S. Senate confirmed two nominees for the open seats on the Federal Trade Commission: Andrew N. Ferguson, former solicitor general of the Commonwealth of Virginia; and Melissa Holyoak, former solicitor general with the Utah Attorney General’s Office. With this confirmation of two new Republican Commissioners, the FTC is one step closer to a full slate of five bipartisan Commissioners. The Senate also re-confirmed Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter for a second term. President Biden had nominated Ferguson and Holyoak on July 11, 2023, and renominated Slaughter on February 13, 2023.
