Jenny Yang, a civil rights and employment lawyer hailing from New Jersey, was sworn in last week to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, returning it to full strength after a yearlong vacancy.

Yang, 43, a Democrat, replaces Stuart Ishmaru, who left the commission in April 2012, when he was tapped to head the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s new Office of Minority and Women Inclusion. She will serve out Ishmaru’s five-year term, which ends July 1, 2017.
