WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senators Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) called on President Donald Trump to withdraw his nomination of Todd Ricketts to serve as Deputy Secretary of Commerce, saying that Ricketts’ “actions to date suggest he is unfit to be confirmed.” In calling for the nomination to be withdrawn, the senators cited Ricketts’ failure to respond to their inquires into his heavy involvement with a Super PAC and associated dark money group that have spent millions on behalf of President Trump’s nominees, including a recent advertisement supporting Judge Neil Gorsuch to be confirmed as Supreme Court Justice. The senators also sent a copy of their letter to Ricketts himself.
