Tom Reiterates Concerns about Lack of an Ambassador to Mexico, Urges Senate to Confirm Jacobson
Senator Tom Udall, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a longtime advocate for Senate reform, pushed for a Senate vote on Roberta Jacobson's nomination to serve as ambassador to Mexico. Although Jacobson has been called one of the most qualified nominees for the position ever, her nomination has been on hold for almost six months in large part due to a few senators' objections to her role in the Obama administration's Cuba policy.
