Senate Panel to Conduct FTC Oversight Hearing Next Week
Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wants to review post-Biden FTC.
WASHINGTON, April 9, 2026 – For the first time in nearly six years, Congress will conduct an oversight hearing of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) next week.
On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, announced that the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation will convene a full committee hearing about the FTC’s progress and priorities on Wednesday, April 15.
As chairman, Cruz will conduct the hearing titled “Oversight of the Federal Trade Commission,” which will allow senators to share about and assess the FTC’s current leadership. He said the last time FTC commissioners appeared before the committee for an oversight hearing was on Aug. 5, 2020 with a Republican-controlled Senate.
