White House Sends Four Financial Regulator Nominations to the Senate, Two Each for the SEC and CFTC
The White House on November 12 formally sent four financial regulator nominations to the Senate, naming two members each for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). All four nominees require Senate confirmation before taking office.
For the SEC, Kristin N. Johnson of Michigan was nominated as a member for a term expiring June 5, 2029, succeeding Caroline A. Crenshaw, whose term has expired. Steven Levine of Maryland was nominated as a member for a term expiring June 5, 2030, succeeding Hester Maria Peirce, whose term has expired. According to Reuters, Johnson is a Democrat who previously served as a CFTC commissioner, and Levine is a Republican.
For the CFTC, Nathan Anonick of Virginia was nominated as a commissioner for a term expiring June 19, 2031, succeeding Rostin Behnam, whose term has expired. Matthew Rowland of the District of Columbia was nominated as a commissioner for the remainder of a term expiring April 13, 2028, succeeding Summer K. Mersinger. According to Reuters, Anonick is a Republican and Rowland is a Democrat, making the slate bipartisan.
Both agencies currently have multiple vacant commissioner seats. Public reporting puts the SEC at two of its five commissioner seats filled, while CFTC Chairman Mike Selig is the sole sitting member of that commission. Under Senate procedure, the SEC nominations go before the Senate Banking Committee and the CFTC nominations before the Senate Agriculture Committee, followed by a vote of the full Senate. The White House published the nominations list on its website on the afternoon of November 12 Eastern Time. (Source: The White House)
