Today, President Joe Biden announced that he intended to nominate Andrew N. Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak to the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC is made up of five Commissioners, and only three may be from the same party. Since the three current Commissioners are all Democrats, today's nominees to the FTC are all Republicans.

Ferguson is currently the Solicitor General of Virginia. Before becoming Virginia's Solicitor General, he served as Chief Counsel to U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and has also worked for Senators Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley. According to the bio provided by the White House, he also practiced antitrust law at several large D.C. law firms. Early in his career, he clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court of the United States.
