Senate Commerce Committee considers CPSC commissioner nomination
The Senate Commerce Committee will hold a confirmation hearing this Thursday, May 10, to consider the nomination of Marietta S.

Ms. Robinson is currently a trial attorney in Detroit, Michigan and the President of the International Society of Barristers. The Senate Commerce Committee will vote on Ms. Robinson's nomination and report its recommendation to the Senate.

Currently, only 4 of the 5 seats on the CPSC are filled, evenly split between two Democrats, one of which serves as the Chair of the CPSC, and two Republicans. Ms. Robinson would be the third Democrat on the CPSC.
