Carr Congratulates Free State Foundation on Fifteenth Anniversary

WASHINGTON, DC, October 15, 2021—Today, the Free State Foundation celebrated its fifteenth anniversary.  Led by President Randolph J. May, Free State is a non-partisan think tank dedicated to the promotion of free markets, free speech, limited government, and the rule of law, with a particular emphasis on the communications and high-tech industries. 

Commissioner Carr, who delivered remarks at the anniversary gala, issued the following statement:

“I want to congratulate Randy and the entire Free State Foundation on their fifteenth anniversary.  During this impressive run its many scholars have set a high bar for academic research and experience-based advocacy before the Commission.  They consistently raise the level of discourse and bring a rigorous, fact-based approach to communications policy.  Scores of FCC proceedings have benefitted from their advocacy, just as I have benefitted from their timely and thoughtful counsel.

“I have had the privilege to participate in many Free State events over the years, and it was an honor to be able to deliver a few words of thanks and praise as the foundation celebrates this important milestone.”
