U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, met yesterday with U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-MA) to discuss his nomination to serve as the United States Secretary of State.

"Our meeting strengthened my confidence in Senator Kerry as an excellent nominee to become our country's next Secretary of State. Senator Kerry carries tremendous international qualifications and has proven himself time and again as a strong leader for our country. I have worked closely with Senator Kerry during our time together on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and I look forward to supporting his nomination as it is considered in committee.”
