[NCHPolicyBoard] Senate Panel Deadlocks on Archivist Nominee in Party-line Vote

Dear NCH Member,

Today the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee failed to favorably report the nomination of Dr. Colleen J. Shogan to be Archivist of the United States. (AOTUS). The vote was along party lines, 7-7. Because the Senate is split 50-50, Democrats do not have a majority on committees. However because the Vice President is a Democrat, the chairs of Senate committees are Democrats.

Chairman Gary Peters (D-Mich.) he will work with Senate Majority Leader Schumer to have her nomination discharged from the committee and brought to the floor at a future date.

While this does not mean that Dr. Shogan won't be confirmed, it does mean the process may take longer than anticipated.
