President Joe Biden plans to nominate a top aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a long-time Securities and Exchange Commission staffer to fill two top slots at the regulator, the White House said Wednesday.
Jaime Lizarraga, a senior adviser to Pelosi, would take over for departing Democratic Commissioner Allison Herren Lee.
Mark Uyeda, who has spent a chunk of his career at the SEC and is currently on detail to the Senate Banking Committee, would fill an open Republican seat on the five-person commission.
Both picks require Senate approval.
If confirmed, Lizarraga and Uyeda would join the SEC at a time when Chair Gary Gensler is pushing to tighten regulations on Wall Street traders, hedge fund managers and crypto firms.
