By July 12, 2024No Comments

The New York Young Republican Club joined the Bull Moose Project by sending a letter to Federal Trade Commission Designated Agency Ethics Official Lorielle Pankey concerning potential improper connections of Commissioner Holyoak’s Chief of Staff Christopher Mufarrige.

The letter reads in part:

As we witness the commercialization of artificial intelligence, biometrics, and other new technologies, this is a moment of opportunity for the tech giants — which leads to the grave risk that regulatory capture will frustrate the work of agencies like yours to protect the free market.
