Scott Statement on Nomination of Paul Atkins to Serve as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington, D.C. – Ranking Member Tim Scott (R-S.C.) released the following statement on President Trumps’s nomination of Paul Atkins to serve as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):
“Our small business owners, retirement savers, and retail investors across the country deserve a leader at the Securities and Exchange Commission who will prioritize the agency’s mission over a partisan political agenda. Paul Atkins has the experience necessary to lead the agency out of Gary Gensler’s disastrous tenure and help revitalize the U.S. capital markets system – which is critical to our economic growth, job creation, and innovation. I look forward to working with him to increase access to capital for entrepreneurs, open our capital markets to all Americans, and create a regulatory environment for digital assets that encourages innovation here in the United States, not overseas,” said Ranking Member Scott.
