The nomination of Colette Honorable of Little Rock to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission was approved on a voice vote in the U.S. Senate Tuesday night.
After 65-28 vote on a cloture motion to limit debate, the Senate approved Honorable for the position by unanimous voice vote.
Both members of Arkansas’ Senate delegation, Republican John Boozman and Democrat Mark Pryor, voted to approve the nomination after introducing Honorable as a nominee earlier this month.
