Christine Wilson, the only remaining Republican on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), announced Tuesday that she will resign over her opposition to the agency’s progressive leadership.

In an opinion published in the Wall Street Journal, Wilson listed reasons why she could no longer work with the Democratic majority. She specifically accused FTC chair Lina Khan of abusing power and “undermining the commission structure that Congress wrote into law.”
