In March 2016, Quintenz was nominated by President Barack Obama to be a commissioner on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. His nomination, which required confirmation by the U.S. Senate, was not voted on before Congress ended its session for the year.[4]
In early 2017, President Donald Trump withdrew Quintenz's nomination to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission before renominating him to serve the remainder of a five-year term expiring on April 13, 2020.[5][2] Quintenz was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on August 3, 2017, and began service on the commission on August 15.[6] He resigned effective August 31, 2021.[7]
