On July 16, 2025, the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) held a hearing on President Donald Trump’s nominations of Brittany Panuccio to be a member of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Crystal Carey to be general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
