Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has testified at his Senate confirmation hearing. Barrett testified by video before the U-S Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He is President Joe Biden’s nominee to become the country’s ambassador to Luxembourg.
The next step for his nomination – if the committee gives its okay – would be a vote by the full Senate.
No timeline has been established, but it’s possible that could take place before the chamber wraps up its work for the year by December 10th.
If he is confirmed, a primary could be held February 15th and the new mayor would be chosen April 5th during the regularly scheduled spring elections.
