U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, a Nevada Democrat and co-chair of the Congressional Gaming Caucus (CGC), on Monday sent a letter to acting Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairperson Caroline Pham asking her to release “all relevant communications from or about” Pham’s nominated replacement, Brian Quintenz.
The intended appointee of President Donald Trump and Kalshi investor and board member appeared to be gliding through his confirmation process until a recent series of setbacks.
An expected first subcommittee vote on his approval was scrubbed on July 21 when a Republican member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry was absent because of travel delays. Voting is expected to fall within party lines, with every Republican vote needed to confirm Quintenz.
