Former Dem Rep Maloney Tapped For Ambassadorship

Congress Minutes reports:

Former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney has been nominated by President Joe Biden to serve as a U.S. ambassador for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, according to a White House press statement.

If confirmed, the New York Democrat will be heading to Paris for the gig, replacing former Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, who was appointed to become the U.S. ambassador for Italy.
