Ahuja was narrowly confirmed by a 51-50 party-line vote in the U.S. Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tiebreaking vote.

Ciccone’s background as Executive Director of Accountable.US attracted some controversy after her appointment to the Office of Personnel Management.

From 1979-1997 he worked at Goldman Sachs. He has been a member of the New York Fed Fintech Advisory Group and Chairman of the Maryland Financial Consumer Protection Commission.⁶⁰

Gensler was confirmed by a 53-45 vote in the Senate, with some Republicans voicing reservations about his approach to ESG Activism. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) expressed concern that Gensler would “cause the SEC to use its regulatory powers to advance a liberal social agenda focused on issues such as global warming, political spending disclosures, and racial inequality and diversity.”⁶¹

He was the founding chair of the California Entrepreneurship Task Force within Governor Gavin Newsom’s Office of Business and Economic Development. During the Obama Administration, he was a member of the White House Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders’ Economic Growth Committee.⁶⁵

Syed’s nomination was controversial, due in part to his membership on the board of Emgage Action, which has described Israel as an “apartheid” state and supported the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. According to the Washington Free Beacon, Emgage has accused Israel of perpetuating “racist, undemocratic Israeli apartheid rule that steals [Palestinian] land and destroys their homes to make way for illegal Jewish settlements.” During his confirmation process, Syed stated that he does not support the BDS movement.⁶⁶
