WASHINGTON, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — I congratulate Brien Lorenze on his nomination to serve as a Commissioner of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. I am grateful to President Trump for his continued support of CPSC and commitment to appointing experienced, results-oriented public servants to positions of public trust.

Brien has distinguished himself as a thoughtful leader, trusted advisor, and dedicated public servant. As Executive Director of CPSC, he has helped guide the Commission through a period of significant modernization while maintaining a steadfast commitment to our core mission of protecting American consumers.
