WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) released a statement applauding President Biden’s nomination of Dennis B. Hankins to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Haiti.
“I am pleased that President Biden has announced his intention to nominate Dennis B. Hankins, Foreign Policy Advisor to the National Guard Bureau, to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Haiti,” said Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. “Deep instability continues to plague Haiti, creating humanitarian, security, and political crises that wreak havoc across the country. This announcement demonstrates that the Biden-Harris Administration recognizes America’s responsibility as neighbors and allies of Haiti to respond to this volatility. I look forward to watching the confirmation of Foreign Policy Advisor Hankins in the U.S. Senate.”
In December, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick and Congressman Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) led a bipartisan letter urging the Biden-Harris Administration to prioritize Haitian relief efforts to combat the political, economic, and humanitarian crises plaguing the nation.
