Senate Panel Set To Move on Homendy Nomination for NTSB
If confirmed, Homendy would bring expertise in rail and pipeline safety to the NTSB.

The Senate Commerce Committee yesterday gave a warm reception to the White House’s newest nomination to the National Transportation Safety Board, Jennifer Homendy, and is expected clear the nomination next week for full Senate action. The White House last month announced the intent to nominate Homendy to fulfill the remainder of a vacated term that expires on Dec. 31, 2019. Homendy has a background in transportation safety, having served as the Democratic staff director of the House railroads, pipelines, and hazardous materials subcommittee since 2004. She also has served as a legislative representative for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and worked for the Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO, the American Iron and Steel Institute, and the National Federation of Independent Business.
