Rep. Lou Correa, D-Calif., who opposed a package of bills seeking to reform antitrust law to rein in Big Tech companies, will become the top Democrat on the House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust, Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., announced Wednesday.
CNBC first reported that Correa was the top contender for the role, despite his voting record on antitrust deviating from that of his predecessor.
It resulted in a package of bills to limit their power that passed through the subcommittee under Cicilline's stewardship.
But Correa and other California lawmakers on the subcommittee voted against the bills.
