In a 59 to 39 vote in the Senate, Arkansas businessman Warren Stephens was confirmed as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the U.S. to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
U.S. Senator John Boozman of Arkansas introduced and supported Stephens at his nomination hearing earlier in the month. After the confirmation, Boozman says “Warren Stephens is a respected businessman, philanthropist and leader who will capably serve our nation as our ambassador to the U.K. This critical posting to represent America’s interests and ensure close cooperation with our key ally and friend is a testament to his reputation, character and skillset. I congratulate the Stephens family on this incredibly proud moment, and wish Warren and Harriet will on this undertaking in service to the country they deeply love.”
