White House Submits Bipartisan CFTC and SEC Commissioner Nominees to Senate

Odaily Report: The White House officially submitted bipartisan nominee lists for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Senate on Thursday, pending approval. Democrat Kristin Johnson was nominated as an SEC Commissioner for a term expiring in 2029; Republican Steven Levine was nominated as an SEC Commissioner for a term expiring in 2030. Democrat Matthew Rowland was nominated as a CFTC Commissioner to fill a vacancy with a term expiring in 2028; Republican Nathan Anonick was also nominated as a CFTC Commissioner for a term expiring in 2031. The move comes after last week's midterm election losses, as Donald Trump's Republican Party is set to lose control of the Senate in January of next year.
