The Senate on Wednesday voted to wind down debate on a package of more than 100 nominees, including several for energy and environment agencies.
The package — which advanced 53-46 — includes Federal Energy Regulatory Commission nominees Laura Swett and David LaCerte, and Neil Jacobs for NOAA administrator.
For the Department of Energy, the list has Catherine Jereza to become assistant secretary for electricity, Audrey Robertson to lead the efficiency and renewables office, and Timothy Walsh for assistant secretary for environmental management.
