Brendan Carr says the Federal Communications Commission should stop work now on controversial issues until after Donald Trump returns to the White House in January.
Carr is considered by many to be the leading candidate to succeed Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel as chair of the FCC.
“I want to congratulate President Trump on his historic election victory,” he said in a post on X.
“The American people have sent a clear and decisive message to Washington. It is time to change course.
“That is why I agree with congressional leadership that the FCC should immediately stop work on any partisan or controversial matter and focus on the transition. When the transition is complete, the FCC will have an important role to play reining in Big Tech, ensuring that broadcasters operate in the public interest, and unleashing economic growth while advancing our national security interests and supporting law enforcement. The FCC can and must deliver results for the American people.”
