The U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold an SEC Commissioner nomination hearing on November 19.

On November 13, journalist Eleanor Terrett disclosed that the US Senate Banking Committee has scheduled a nomination hearing for next Thursday (November 19) to consider nominees for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including Kristin Johnson and Steven Levine, as well as other government positions.

Among them, Kristin Johnson previously served as a commissioner on the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and Steven Levine was formerly employed by the Council of Economic Advisers at the White House.

Terrett previously noted that the timeline for confirming SEC and CFTC commissioner nominations is tight this congressional session. According to a report from Punchbowl News last month, Senate Republican leadership hopes the relevant nominations will clear committee review before November 20 to be included in the final year-end confirmation schedule.
