By Suzzane Gamboa, NBC News
President Barack Obama is nominating Maria Echaveste, a former Clinton White House official, to be next ambassador to Mexico. If confirmed, she would be the first woman in that post, as White House Domestic Policy Director Cecilia Muñoz tweeted.
Proud that POTUS nominated Maria Echaveste to be Ambassador to Mexico. If confirmed: first woman ever in that post.

The White House announced the nomination Thursday saying “while Echaveste has been actively involved in the effort to pass sensible immigration reform, she understands that the relationship between the United States and Mexico goes well beyond issues of immigration reform, including critical trade and commerce alliances.”
