President Donald Trump nominated four candidates—two Republicans and two Democrats—to serve as commissioners at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Kristin Johnson and Stephen Levine were nominated for the SEC, while Matthew Rowland and Nathan Ahnonick were nominated for the CFTC. The White House submitted the nominations to the Senate, marking Trump’s first Democratic commissioner nominations for the agencies since returning to office. The SEC currently has two commissioners and the CFTC one; confirmation would bring the agencies to four and three commissioners, respectively, still below their full five-member rosters. Ahnonick, a Republican Senate Agriculture Committee counsel, helped draft provisions of the Clarity Act and worked on prediction-market issues, while Johnson is a former CFTC commissioner and Levine previously served at the White House Council of Economic Advisers and as deputy chief of staff when Mark Uyeda was acting SEC chair. The nominations come as Republicans prepare to lose Senate control in January after a midterm election defeat.
