Senate Confirms Robert Harvey as Federal Maritime Commission Commissioner, Filling Last Vacancy
The U.S. Senate has confirmed Robert Harvey as a commissioner for the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), filling the last vacant position on the board. Harvey, a lawyer with a background in securities litigation, was nominated by the White House in September for a term ending in June 2029. His confirmation was part of a larger en bloc vote that included 49 nominations, primarily for attorney positions and various government department roles. Harvey's confirmation follows the earlier appointment of Laura DiBella as FMC Chairman. Harvey and DiBella have previously worked together at Enterprise Florida, where Harvey served as General Counsel. His career began in the U.S. Navy, where he served as a Navy Judge Advocate and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney.
