It looks like former Los Alamitos mayor Troy Edgar is poised to become the next Chief Financial Officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. With only one dissenting vote, Edgar’s nomination was approved by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs on Wednesday. Edgar’s nomination will now head to the full U.S. Senate for a vote by the full Senate. With a healthy Republican majority, it is now very likely that Edgar will be approved by the Senate to become CFO for a department with a budget approaching $100 billion.
