Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr announced Monday that Will Holloway has joined his office as a legal adviser.

Holloway has spent the last seven years with the commission. He most recently served in the same role for fellow Commissioner Olivia Trusty.

“Will began his career at the FCC as an honors attorney, and I look forward to drawing on his counsel on a range of matters,” Carr said Monday in a release.

Allison Howell and Keelin Ferris also serve Carr as legal advisers.

Holloway’s FCC Background
As a legal adviser for Trusty, Holloway led legal and policy analysis on wireless, space, international, engineering and technology and public safety issues, according to the commission’s release.

Prior to that role for Trusty, he served as counsel for the FCC’s Broadband Data Task Force from 2022 to 2025. There, he offered legal and policy support on matters related to the implementation of the Broadband DATA Act and the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection.

Before that, Holloway served in the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau as an attorney adviser focusing on broadband mapping and wireless infrastructure.

Holloway joined the FCC in 2019 as an honors attorney in the Wireless Bureau’s Competition and Infrastructure Policy Division. That same year, he received his J.D. from Catholic University. He earned his undergraduate degree in 2011 from Sewanee: The University of the South.
