The White House has nominated James Danly, now general counsel of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, to be the group’s next commissioner, which would give it a 3 to 2 Republican majority.

A 2013 graduate of Vanderbilt Law School, Danly was named general counsel in September 2017, despite his relatively brief experience both as a lawyer and in the energy field. Danly, who declined to comment Tuesday, would serve the remainder of a five-year term that ends in 2023.
