Davidow Confirmed As U.S. Ambassador
After more than a year, Mexico is finally getting a new U.S. ambassador. The Senate approved, by voice vote and without debate, career diplomat Jeffrey Davidow to be ambassador to Mexico. He is expected to take his post in early July.

Davidow, a native of Boston, now directs the State Department’s Latin America bureau. He is a former ambassador to Venezuela and Zambia.
