Staff reports
President Barack Obama has nominated North Carolina’s top consumer advocate for a position on the Federal Trade Commission.
Julie Brill became the senior deputy attorney general and chief of consumer protection and antitrust for the N.C. Department of Justice in February. Before that role, she spent 20 years in a similar role in Vermont.
If confirmed, Brill would become a commissioner on the FTC, responsible for enforcing antitrust legislation and protecting consumers from anti-competitive practices.
