Adm. Linda Fagan
The Senate voted unanimously to confirm Adm. Linda Fagan as the next commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, the first woman ever to lead a military service.
Fagan is slated to take the helm of the service June 1, 2022, in a ceremony at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., during Fagan's confirmation hearing on April 28, 2022, said, "This is a historic moment for our country and for women in the armed services." She said that it will be the first time that a woman will lead one of the six branches of the armed services.
