Kevin Martin

Kevin Martin (to your left, but leaning right) is currently the chair of the Federal Communications Commission. Prior to that he was a special assistant to George W. Bush, prior to that he worked as a telecommunications lobbyist for Wiley Rein & Fielding, and prior to that he worked for Kenneth Star in the office of the Special Prosecutor.

Evidently what he wants to do next is be Governor of North Carolina.

Martin has made a name for himself as an eager de-regulator whose chief interests are approving big time mergers and stringently enforcing decency standards in broadcasting. It is the first of these two interests that has brought him to national attention.
