Lawmakers vow aggressive oversight of FCC chair after Democrats take over

By Reuters News

- A senior Senate Democrat said on Tuesday that lawmakers plan to repeatedly call the head of the Federal Communications Commission to testify next year when they take control of Congress.

Senator Ben Ray Lujan, the top Democrat on the subcommittee that oversees the FCC, said he expected FCC Chair Brendan Carr would be called to appear at least monthly next year, saying Carr "has been evading questions and ignoring his responsibilities."
