WASHINGTON (Reuters) â President Joe Biden on Wednesday nominated Cindy McCain, widow of the late Republican Senator John McCain, to be U.S. representative to the United Nations agencies for food and agriculture, the White House said.
Biden also nominated Jack Markell, the former Democratic governor of his home state of Delaware, to be the U.S. representative to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the White House statement said.
The pair were among 17 nominations sent to the Senate for confirmation.
McCain endorsed Biden in Novemberâs election in which the Democrat defeated Republican President Donald Trump, who had repeatedly criticized McCainâs husband. John McCain died in 2018.

McCain won the standoff after disclosing that she owned the Hensley Beverage Co., a Phoenix-based beer distributor founded by her father that has the same insurance carrier as John McCain s Senate plan.

CHAMBER JOINS COALITION: The Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber has joined with Ohio businesses and trade organizations to mobilize Ohioans to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
Led by the Ohio Business Roundtable, employers announced the Coalition to Stop the Spread, an initiative that recognizes the risk COVID-19 poses to Ohio’s economy and the gains that have been made since the initial shutdowns of businesses and schools.
The coalition asks people to wear a mask, not just where it is mandated in public, but when gathering with any small friend or family group beyond your immediate household.
The coalition’s mission is in line with the chamber’s EMERGE program, launched last year to help local businesses emerge from the pandemic. Hundreds of businesses have received one-on-one assistance, personal protective equipment and regular updates through the program.
