The Senate confirmed President Barack Obama’s two Federal Election Commission nominees on Monday.
Republican Lee Goodman and Democrat Ann Ravel were confirmed by voice vote on Monday. The two fill the vacancies left by former Democratic commissioner Cynthia Bauerly and Republican Donald McGahn.
Goodman works at a Washington law firm and Ravel is the chairwoman of the California Fair Political Practices Commission, according to the Associated Press.
The two join a six-member panel charged with regulating spending on elections and campaigns. The confirmations also mean there are no vacancies on the panel (four are serving on terms that have expired though).
Obama nominated Goodman and Ravel in June. They were confirmed a week after the Senate Rules Committee approved their nomination.
