White House submits bipartisan commissioner nominations for CFTC and SEC to Senate

Odaily reports: The White House on Thursday officially submitted bipartisan nominations for commissioners of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Senate, pending approval. Democrat Kristin Johnson was nominated as an SEC commissioner, with a term ending in 2029; Republican Steven Levine was nominated as an SEC commissioner, with a term ending in 2030. Democrat Matthew Rowland was nominated as a CFTC commissioner to fill a vacancy with a term ending in 2028; Republican Nathan Anonick was also nominated as a CFTC commissioner, with a term ending 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 next year.
