Why It Matters
The Senate Finance Committee is moving toward confirming a slate of U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) nominees that could shift the agency's political balance. The business meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14. Three Republican nominees alongside two Democratic nominees would restore bipartisan balance to the USITC, a body that handles trade disputes and investigations that affect billions in commerce.
The Big Picture
The committee will consider five nominees: Brett Doyle of Connecticut, David Foley Jr. of Virginia, Samuel Negatu of the District of Columbia, Peter-Anthony Pappas of New Jersey, and Bartholomew Thanhauser of New York.
Mike Crapo, the committee chair, released a statement on the ITC nominees on June 25. Ron Wyden serves as ranking member.
