When SEC Commissioner Daniel Gallagher announced in mid-May 2015 that it was his intention to depart the agency as soon as a successor was confirmed by the Senate, he probably thought that would spur the White House to name a successor. Nearly four months later, however, no successor has been nominated by the White House. Today, Commissioner Gallagher issued a short statement indicating that his offer to stay on as a commissioner now has an expiration date: Friday, October 2, 2015.
