"Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr is a long-serving member of the regulator who has become an increasingly visible attack dog for the Trump administration this year.
He is an attorney who joined the FCC as a staffer in 2012 and became a commissioner, appointed by Trump, in 2017. Upon Trump’s reelection, the then-president-elect chose him to chair the regulatory agency.
Carr has been a regular at Mar-a-Lago as well as Fox News, and earlier this year he showed his loyalty to Trump by wearing a gold lapel pin of the president’s face.
He rose to prominence in 2024 after he wrote the chapter on the FCC in the conservative blueprint known as Project 2025. In it, he railed against technology and media companies’ “censorship” of right-wing content and values — and promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion programs. He wrote that among the agency’s top priorities should be “reining in Big Tech.”
He has promised to hold broadcast TV and radio stations accountable, and just one hour after thanking the president for his appointment, Carr wrote on X, “We must dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans.”"
