Winning involves a whole lot of not quitting.

It is my great honor to be nominated by President Trump as the next Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where I had served as a Commissioner in his last administration. The CFTC plays a critical role in maintaining robust hedging and price discovery markets that are the envy of the globe. The agency is also well poised to ensure the USA leads the world in blockchain technology and innovation. I look forward to working with President Trump’s incredible financial regulatory team. 🇺🇸

Day 3: Target is 03:45. Got up at 8:00 but the image was taken late as I started work straight out of bed. Need to get better. No excuses- just get the W.

Even just a few months ago, I couldn’t have imagined this number. Showing up is everything
