The White House has submitted its nominees for the CFTC and SEC to the Senate for confirmation.

BlockBeats news, November 13 — The White House formally submitted bipartisan nominations for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Senate on Thursday for approval. The move comes as President Donald Trump's Republican Party is set to lose control of the Senate in January following last week's midterm election losses.

Democrat Kristin Johnson was nominated as an SEC commissioner, with her term set to expire in 2029. She previously served as a CFTC commissioner, appointed by then-Democratic President Joe Biden. The other SEC nominee announced Thursday is Republican Steven Levine, who will serve as a commissioner of the agency with a term expiring in 2030.

Democrat Matthew Rowland was nominated as a CFTC commissioner to fill a vacancy for the remainder of a term expiring in 2028. Republican Nathan Anonick was also nominated as a CFTC commissioner, with his term set to expire in 2031.
