Senate Continues to Confirm Vital Nominees

‘Yesterday, the Senate voted to confirm Jackie Wolcott as U.S. Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency and to the United Nations in Vienna. Today, we turn to consider the nomination of Peter A. Feldman to be a Commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. I urge each of my colleagues to join me in voting to confirm Mr. Feldman, and in continuing to process nominees for vital roles in the executive branch.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the need to confirm more of the president’s well-qualified nominees:

“As I noted yesterday, the Senate continues to make progress on critical national priorities. We’re restoring the regular order appropriations process. We’re securing common-sense reforms to infrastructure policy and the longest authorization of the FAA in over 35 years. And this week, we’re confirming more of the president’s well-qualified nominees.
