SIFMA Statement On SEC Nominations

IFMA today released the following statement from CEO Judd A. Gregg on the recent nominations of two SEC Commissioners:

"President Obama has made excellent choices in nominating Kara Stein and Michael Piwowar to be Commissioners of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These are two smart, thoughtful and talented people who will certainly contribute greatly to the SEC's mission of protecting the American public and investors and enhancing America's capital markets.  It was a pleasure to work with them in the Senate.  Prompt confirmation by the Senate would be good for the country and for the economy."
