Full committee hearing. Rescheduled from February 20.

Nominees:

  • Troy Edgar to be Deputy Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
  • Dan Bishop to be Deputy Director, Office of Management and Budget

Edgar, the former mayor of Los Alamitos, “led his city to defy California’s sanctuary law.”

Edgar served in the first Trump administration as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for the Department of Homeland Security (confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a vote of 62-31). He oversaw the department’s financial policy, systems modernization, fiscal operations and was responsible for their $90 billion budget.

He started his consulting career at PricewaterhouseCoopers after nearly a decade with Boeing as the CFO for the company’s $3 billion military aircraft logistics and C17 USAF/Boeing Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership business. He later founded Global Conductor, a $130 million corporate consulting firm.

Bishop is the North Carolina legislator who was the author of the notorious anti-transgender “bathroom bill.”

Mass illegal layoffs began at DHS, including FEMA, CISA, and USCIS last week.
