CPSC Creeping Closer To A Democrat Majority

With three nominations in the queue, the CPSC could be on the way to a Democrat majority. The Biden Administration recently completed its list of three nominees to serve as Chairman and Commissioners.  The list includes Alexander Hoehn-Saric as Chairman (currently Chief Counsel for Communications and Consumer Protection at the House Energy and Commerce Committee), Mary Boyle, (currently CPSC's Executive Director, and Richard Trumka, Jr. (currently General Counsel and Staff Director at the House Oversight and Investigations Committee's Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy).

The CPSC currently has one vacant seat, but a second seat will open up this October, at the termination of Commissioner Elliot Kaye's hold-over year. A third slot will then become available at the close of Acting Chairman Adler's term.
