Rebecca Slaughter, a member of the Federal Trade Commission since May 2018, has been a consistent advocate for fair competition. In a recent statement, she expressed her hope that FTC Chair Lina Khan will remain in her position, emphasizing her commitment to maintaining a competitive landscape in various industries. Slaughter, who previously served as chief counsel for Democratic U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, highlights the importance of vigilance in ensuring fair practices that benefit both consumers and businesses.
Her remarks underscore a broader strategy within the FTC to foster a regulatory environment where competitive fairness is a priority. While Slaughter did not speculate on future developments, her support for Khan reflects her alignment with ongoing efforts to scrutinize and address anti-competitive behavior. Slaughter’s perspectives on these issues, along with her personal approach to maintaining balance, including adequate rest—highlighted by her desire for a “good night’s sleep”—are further explored in the original article published by Corporate Counsel.
