President Donald Trump nominated two people each to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Thursday, one Democrat and one Republican for each commission, according to a White House statement. For the SEC he named Democrat Kristin Johnson and Republican Steven Levine, with terms expiring in 2029 and 2030. For the CFTC he named Democrat Matthew Rowland and Republican Nathan Anonik. The Senate must approve the nominations, with the Banking Committee handling SEC nominees and the Agriculture Committee handling CFTC nominees.
