FOX reporter: US CFTC chairperson candidate prepares to travel to Trump's Mar-a-Lago for interview next week

Eleanor Terrett of FOX Business wrote on the X platform: "Industry attention is now turning to who Trump will choose to lead the CFTC, another agency that will play a key role in Crypto regulation under the new administration. I heard that some candidates are preparing to travel to Mar-a-Lago (Trump's residence and private club Mar-a-Lago) for interviews next week. A list of candidates - Mersinger and Pham, current Republican commissioners on the CFTC; Jill Sommers and Brian Quintenz, former CFTC commissioners; Josh Sterling, former CFTC director; and Neal Kumar, former special counsel to the CFTC's Office of General Counsel; and Perianne, founder of the Chamber of Digital Commerce - were also mentioned, but it is unclear whether the new administration has seriously considered her candidacy.
