The U.S. Senate Finance Committee has moved forward with the nominations of Jonathan McKernan for Under Secretary of the Treasury and Alex Adams, from Idaho, for Assistant Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary for Family Support. Both nominees were advanced by a narrow 14-13 vote.
Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) commented on the decision, stating: “Congratulations to each nominee. Mr. McKernan’s extensive qualifications will help him restore sound and balanced regulation to our financial system, and he is well prepared to serve as Under Secretary for Domestic Finance. Mr. Adams strongly believes that federal policy should strengthen parents’ ability to make the best decisions for their children, and I am confident in his ability to lead the array of programs under the Administration for Children and Families at HHS. I look forward to their confirmations by the full Senate and working with them in these roles.”
Further details about the executive session are available through official committee channels.
