Maffei, of New York, was designated by President Joseph Biden as Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) on March 29, 2021. He was first nominated to serve on the FMC by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the United States Senate on June 29, 2016. He was then nominated by President Donald Trump and confirmed by the United States Senate on January 2, 2019. Chairman Maffei was subsequently nominated by President Biden to serve a third term on the Commission and was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 14, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Commissioner, Mr. Maffei has shown a particular interest in addressing the vulnerability of the global transportation system to industry-wide financial and security risks. He has spoken at national and international conferences on the changing nature of the economics of international shipping due to technological advances and the pressures that newer and larger carriers have placed on U.S. transportation infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A native of Syracuse, New York, Chairman Maffei\u2019s career in government spans more than twenty years. He was elected to two terms in the United States House of Representatives from 2009 to 2011 and from 2013 to 2015. Immediately prior to his initial appointment to the FMC, Mr. Maffei was a Senior Advisor at the United States Department of Commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chairman Maffei\u2019s time in Congress included service on the House Armed Services Committee, House Financial Services Committee, and House Judiciary Committee. His priority on the Armed Services Committee was to improve the military\u2019s capacity to defend the country from terrorist and cyber threats. He worked on several provisions in the 2013 and 2014 armed services authorization bills to support and promote new and better technologies. On the Financial Services Committee, he focused on consumer protection and helped improve and pass, with increased bipartisan support, the Credit Cardholder\u2019s Bill of Rights of 2009, a law that took important steps to level the playing field between customers and card issuers. Chairman Maffei also served on the House Committee on Science and Technology and was Ranking Member of its Oversight Subcommittee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While serving in Congress, Chairman Maffei\u2019s Central New York district included the Port of Oswego, the first U.S. port of call and deepwater port on the Great Lakes. Working closely with Representative Richard L. Hanna and New York\u2019s Senators, he was able to secure vital funding to improve the port\u2019s rail link and the resources to better dredge the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chairman Maffei has substantial experience teaching and researching at universities and think tanks. In 2018, Mr. Maffei spent six months away as a Professor of Practice at the George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management before returning to the FMC. He has taught on the faculty of the New York State College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) and has been a Senior Fellow at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) and a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Third Way. For several years, he served on the American Board of Advisors for Global Panel, a Prague-based organization that works primarily behind the scenes to facilitate solutions to various international conflicts and crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chairman Maffei\u2019s private sector experience includes time as an independent consultant, a Senior Policy Advisor at Manatt, Phelps, Phillips LLP, and an executive at Pinnacle Capital Management, LLC (Syracuse, NY).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 1998 to 2005, Chairman Maffei worked on the Democratic staff of the House Ways and Means Committee. Previously, he had been Press Secretary for U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan from 1997 to 1998 and Press Secretary for U.S. Senator Bill Bradley in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chairman Maffei received his bachelor\u2019s degree in History and American Civilization from Brown University and holds master\u2019s degrees from the Columbia University\u2019s Graduate School of Journalism and Harvard University\u2019s John F. Kennedy School of Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recent-news\">Recent News<\/h2>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div data-wp-context=\"{}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/query\" data-wp-key=\"0\" data-wp-router-region=\"query-0\" class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-1 wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li data-wp-key=\"post-template-item-6751\" class=\"wp-block-post post-6751 ftdo type-ftdo status-publish hentry category-daniel-b-maffei category-louis-e-sola\">\n<div style=\"margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:4px;\" class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-f72d6f4bc0b63872b640059744dcd161 wp-block-post-date has-text-color has-base-color\"><time datetime=\"2024-07-29T14:08:10-04:00\">July 29, 2024<\/time><\/div>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.568), 18px);line-height:1.5; padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;\" class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmc.gov\/ftdo\/fmc-chairman-maffei-and-commissioner-sola-examining-impacts-from-reduced-capacity-of-panama-canal\/\" target=\"_self\" >FMC Chairman Maffei and Commissioner Sola Examining Impacts from Reduced Capacity of Panama Canal<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"padding-top:8px;margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:8px;\" class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Federal Maritime Commission Chairman Daniel B.
