NLRB Quorum Restored: U.S. Senate Confirms President Trump’s Board Nominees
On December 18, 2025, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominations of labor attorneys Scott Mayer and James D. Murphy to serve on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Crystal S. Carey to serve as the NLRB’s general counsel. The confirmation of the two Board nominees restores a quorum, allowing the Board to function and providing some certainty for labor relations after the five-member Board was left with only one member for months.
