Duckworth Statement on FDIC Chair Nominee Christy Goldsmith Romero
[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) released the following statement in response to President Biden’s nomination of Christy Goldsmith Romero to be Chair of the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC):
“I welcome today’s announcement—Christy Goldsmith Romero has led an impressive, decades-long career as a financial regulator in the federal government and has twice been unanimously confirmed by the Senate for leadership roles. Her track record serving as the Special Inspector General of the Troubled Asset Relief Program and as a Commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has proven her to be an independent, balanced and well-respected regulator ready to take on this critical role at the FDIC. I call on the entire Banking and Housing Committee, Senate leadership and the full Senate to advance her nomination quickly to bring new leadership to the FDIC at this challenging time.”
