WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) – chairman of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection – today urged swift confirmation of Peter Feldman, currently a senior counsel at the Commerce Committee, as a commissioner on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

“Peter’s longtime efforts advising the Commerce committee have been invaluable to our work protecting American consumers. His expertise in regards to the issues before the Commission and extensive qualifications will be an asset as the Commission gets back on track in advancing product safety policies that reflect the principles of sound regulation. I am hopeful Peter’s nomination will move expeditiously through the Senate to restore stability at the Commission going forward.”
