Official Profile

Andrew Ferguson

Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission

executive

Still Seated

Andrew Ferguson is the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and a Republican antitrust and regulatory official with a background in law, policy, and Senate work. At the FTC, he oversees competition and consumer-protection issues while helping shape the administration’s approach to corporate power and regulation. The dry version is technocratic oversight; the real version is another arena where ideological agendas, business interests, and political theater all fight over who gets to call themselves “pro-consumer.” On Yeeted or Seated, Ferguson is one more suit trying to make factional combat sound like neutral administrative process.
