by David Shepardson (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee will consider President-elect Joe Biden’s nomination of Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo to head the Commerce Department in a hearing on Jan. 26.
(The secretary of commerce oversees the United States Federal Maritime Commission, NOAA, and dictates some maritime trade policies. Raimondo will be replacing former ship owner Wilbur Ross.)
If confirmed, Raimondo will face a number of unresolved issues, including the completion of the 2020 Census, which was supposed to be completed by year’s end but was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Census Bureau’s director is resigning nearly a year ahead of schedule on Wednesday after the department’s Office of Inspector General raised questions about whether he was pushing bureau employees to finalize a technical report on the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States.
