President Trump wasted no time in re-nominating CPSC Acting
Chairman Ann Marie Buerkle for permanent Chairman and for a second
term as Commissioner of the agency. Dana Baiocco was also
re-nominated for Commissioner. As we recently
reported, the Senate returned these nominations to the White
House on January 3, 2018, along with those of almost 100 others who
had been nominated for various agencies, departments and
judgeships. A mere five days later, the White House announced the re-nomination of most of these
candidates.
Although Buerkle and Baiocco were approved last fall by the
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, they now
must be approved again by the committee before they can be approved
by the full
Senate.
