Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga of the Securities and Exchange Commission will step down on January 17th, three days before incoming US President Donald Trump’s inauguration. In an interview with Bloomberg Law, the former congressional aide said he plans to leave the SEC to spend more time with his family and attend to the needs of his wife, who’s battling breast cancer.
Lizárraga’s announcement comes days after SEC Chairman Gary Gensler announced on Twitter/X that he’s stepping down this January 20th, in time for Trump’s second inauguration.
Lizárraga’s departure will leave just one Democrat on the agency when Trump starts his second administration.
