Citing the FTC's "great mission," Simons said that "by stamping out unfair and deceptive trade practices, the Commission can help ensure that consumers are protected and have the information they need to make intelligent choices in the marketplace."
He also emphasized that "the FTC is all about protecting and improving consumer welfare."
Simons said he would focus on "where harm is the greatest" to get the "biggest bang for taxpayer dollar"
