President Obama intends to nominate Joshua Wright to serve as a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Wright is currently a professor of law at George Mason University School of Law, as well as the research director and a member of the board of directors of the International Center for Law and Economics. He'll replace Thomas Rosch, whose seven-year term expires this month.

Wright will be one of two Republicans serving on the five-member commission, which by law can have no more than three commissioners from the same party.
