President Trump nominated Brittany Panuccio, who is currently serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Florida, to fill a vacancy on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that was created by Trump’s firing of two Democratic EEOC commissioners earlier this year. Panuccio is a former special counselor at the Department of Education and was also an associate at Jones Day. She also clerked earlier in her career for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. If approved by the Senate, Panuccio would serve a term expiring in July 2029 and would give the EEOC the three members needed to hold votes.
