"I am honored by Chairman Jordan’s decision to name me Chair of the Subcommittee," stated Congressman Fitzgerald. He further expressed his intention to collaborate with "the Trump Administration, Chairman Jordan, and members of the committee to hold Big Tech accountable for censorship, reverse the Biden Administration’s anti-business agenda, and fight the federal bureaucracy."

The Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust has a broad jurisdiction that includes bankruptcy and commercial law, administrative law, antitrust matters among others.
