Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) expressed his support for Bisignano, saying, "Mr. Bisignano has more than 30 years of strong, executive leadership experience and knows how to enact his bold vision of delivering better customer service for Social Security beneficiaries. I look forward to his confirmation by the full Senate and working with him as Commissioner."
