Last week, CPSC Commissioner Joseph Mohorovic, one of the two Republicans on the five-person Commission, announced that he would be ending his term as Commissioner two years early to join the Federal Regulatory and Compliance practice at the law firm Dentons.  His last day at the Commission was October 20.  Mr. Mohorovic became a Commissioner in July 2014 and had commuted from Chicago during his tenure.  He cited a desire to spend more time with his family as the basis for his resignation.

In the short term, the Commission will have a 3-1 Democrat majority, but Dana Baiocco (R) has been nominated to fill the seat of Commissioner Marietta Robinson (D) as her term ends this month.  Once that nomination is confirmed, the Commissions would have two Republicans (Ms. Baoicco and Acting Chair Ann Marie Buerkle), two Democrats (Commissioners Robert Adler and Elliot Kaye), and one open slot.
