[White House Submits CFTC and SEC Nominees to Senate for Approval] BlockBeats reports that on November 13th, the White House formally submitted its bipartisan nominations for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Senate for approval. This move comes as President Donald Trump's Republican Party faces losing control of the Senate in January following last week's midterm election defeat. Democrat Kristin Johnson was nominated for a position on the SEC, with her term expiring in 2029. She previously served on the CFTC, appointed by then-Democratic President Joe Biden. The other SEC nominee announced Thursday is Republican Steven Levine, who will serve on the agency until 2030. Democrat Matthew Rowland was nominated for a position on the CFTC to fill a vacancy that expires in 2028. Republican Nathan Anonick was also nominated to the CFTC, with his term expiring in 2031.
