What happened
Nominees are Kristin Johnson (D, Michigan, SEC seat formerly held by Caroline Crenshaw, term to 5 June 2029), Steven Levine (R, Maryland, Hester Peirce's seat, term to 5 June 2030), Nathan Anonick (R, Virginia, CFTC, term to 19 June 2031) and Matthew Rowland (D, Washington DC, CFTC, term ending 13 April 2028). If all are confirmed, the SEC would have four of five seats and the CFTC three of five. The Banking Committee handles SEC picks and the Agriculture Committee the CFTC; Punchbowl reported Senate GOP leaders targeted 20 November for committee clearance ahead of a lame-duck bundle, with Democrats taking the Senate in January.
