Andrew John Strenio, Jr. (born April 3, 1952), known as Andy Strenio,[1] is a retired American attorney and author who served as a member of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from 1986 to 1991. A Democrat, he previously served as a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), a now-defunct independent federal agency.[2]
