Digital Commerce and Consumer Protection Subcommittee Chairman Bob Latta (R-OH) issued the following statement after President Donald J. Trump designated Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen as Acting Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) today.

"With a new president and administration in place, it's time we shift focus and begin appointing the right leaders to direct our federal agencies. The FTC is an incredibly important entity -- one that empowers consumers, encourages competition, and promotes innovative businesses here in the U.S.

"Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen has a long and distinguished history at this agency, and I am glad to see the change in leadership and subsequent change in direction at the FTC that will follow. I look forward to working with her during this period of transition as we protect consumers and work to eliminate unfair business practices."
