Scott Statement on Meeting with Paul Atkins, Nominee to Serve as SEC Chairman
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) released the following statement on his meeting with Paul Atkins, President Trump's nominee to serve as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):
"Throughout his career, Paul Atkins has championed policies that promote capital formation and job creation, and his extensive experience in financial regulation will be critical to reversing the harm Gary Gensler has done to our capital markets. Commissioner Atkins also understands the importance of regulatory clarity for the digital assets industry and the millions of Americans who want access to this asset class. I look forward to working with my colleagues to quickly consider his nomination," said Senator Scott.###
