WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, released the following statement after the Senate confirmed Roberta Jacobson to be the next U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Thursday evening:
“Mexico is one of our most important bilateral relationships on matters ranging from trade to immigration to security, and our top diplomatic post in the country was vacant for far too long.

I look forward to working with her.”
