Obama Nominates Cheryl LaFleur To Second Term as FERC Commissioner

摘要

President Obama has nominated Cheryl LaFleur, acting chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, to a new five-term as a commissioner when her current term ends in June. The White House announced the nomination May 1. LaFleur issued a statement saying she is "very honored to be nominated for a second term." LaFleur, a former electric utility executive, joined the commission in 2010. She was designated acting chairman in November following the resignation of then-FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff. Despite her expressed interest in heading the agency, Obama chose to go a different route.
