Senate Banking GOP picks up Facebook hire amid Big Tech scrutiny

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 12, 2021

As Big Tech finds itself under increased congressional scrutiny, Senate Republicans have scored a big hire from Facebook's public-policy team.

Halie Craig has joined the Senate Banking Committee as she is a policy adviser under ranking member Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). She spent the last couple years at Facebook, most recently as a public-policy associate manager for actor and behavioral policy. Craig worked for Toomey's personal office and for the Senate Rules Committee before her time at the tech giant.

Congress's ongoing pressure to rein in Big Tech was only heightened by last week's Senate whistleblower testimony against Facebook. Some predict a yearslong struggle to regulate Big Tech, due in part to the number of talented congressional staffers that the industry has lured through the revolving door.

Subjects: Former Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA); Senate Rules and Administration Committee; Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee; Meta Platforms Inc.; Halie L. Craig
