The U.S. Senate has confirmed David Rosner, Judy Chang, and See as members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), solidifying a Democratic majority on the panel through at least mid-2026. This move is expected to bolster President Biden's push for renewable energy. Additionally, the White House is set to nominate Christy Goldsmith Romero to lead the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Kristin Johnson as the Treasury Department's Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions. These nominations are aimed at filling key vacancies and are backed by prominent figures such as Rep. Maxine Waters. The hearings for these nominations are expected to take place soon, aiming for July.
With the confirmation of three new commissioners, we’ve cemented a Democratic majority at @FERC. With their help, the agency can accelerate our affordable clean energy future. https://t.co/DJQARFzkr8
