White House Submits Bipartisan Nominees for CFTC and SEC Commissioner Posts to Senate

Odaily reports: The White House on Thursday officially submitted to the Senate the bipartisan nominee lists for commissioner posts at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), pending confirmation. Democrat Kristin Johnson was nominated as an SEC commissioner, with a term expiring in 2029; Republican Steven Levine was nominated as an SEC commissioner, with 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, with a term expiring in 2031. The move comes after last week's midterm election losses, as Donald Trump's Republican Party is about to lose control of the Senate in January next year.
