Information technology, cybersecurity and workforce reform were the main focuses of a relatively smooth Senate confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s picks to lead the Office of Personnel Management and the General Services Administration.
In September, Trump nominated Jeff Pon and Emily Murphy to serve as director of OPM and administrator of GSA, respectively. Trump’s original pick to head OPM, George Nesterczuk, withdrew from consideration in July after failing to secure a confirmation hearing. In June, Trump picked Michael Rigas for OPM’s deputy director slot.
