Senate confirms new Pentagon CIO (Martin Matishak – The Record)

The U.S. Senate on Thursday confirmed President Donald Trump’s pick to be the next Pentagon chief information officer. Kirsten Davies was confirmed for the role, along with about 100 other nominees across federal agencies, in a 53-43 vote following a Republican-led rules change that lets tranches of senior personnel get approved in a bloc by a single vote. Davies, who was originally nominated for the post in May, will take over from Katie Arrington, who has performed the duties of the Defense Department’s CIO since March.
