The Senate Banking Committee voted to advance the nominations of Julia Gordon to serve as assistant secretary of Housing and Federal Housing commissioner, David Uejio to serve as assistant secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Arthur Jemison as assistant secretary for Public and Indian Housing, Solomon Greene as assistant secretary for Policy Development and Research and Elizabeth de Leon Bhargava as assistant secretary for administration. Gordon, Uejio, Jemison and Greene each advanced on tied party-line votes (under current Senate rules, a tie vote in committee advances the nomination). de Leon Bhargava advanced by voice vote. All these nominees were initially cleared by the Banking Committee last year but had to be resubmitted after the full Senate failed to consider their nominations before the end of 2021.
The committee also reported favorably several other nominees, including Brian Michael Tomney to serve as inspector general of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who advanced via voice vote. It is not yet known when the Senate will consider any of these nominees.
