@RonWyden @RepZoeLofgren But Newby hasn't done that, sources said. Instead, he's acted like a "fifth commissioner," as two sources put it, focusing more on policy than on management.

@RonWyden @RepZoeLofgren It's a pressure tactic, per a House aide. If the EAC doesn’t have a list of possible replacements when Newby’s term expires, McCormick can say, "We can't risk a vacancy now. We should just keep Newby." “She’s creating a fake crisis in order to preserve him,” the aide said. — PolitiTweet.org
