April 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Banking Committee on

Thursday voted to advance President Donald Trump's nominee to

run Wall Street's top regulator as well as picks for banking

oversight and transportation roles.

In a party-line vote, the committee voted 13-11 to approve

Trump's nomination of Paul Atkins for the chair of the U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission and Jonathan Gould to be U.S.

Comptroller of the Currency.

The panel also approved the nominations of Luke Pettit, a

former Senate staffer who is set to become an assistant

secretary of the U.S. Treasury, and Marcus Molinaro, slated to

be Federal Transit Administrator.
