WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released the following statement today on the retirement of Brian P. McKeon, Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources:
“Brian is a dedicated public servant – and a proud Notre Dame alumnus – whose career has spanned the White House, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, where he served for 12 years as chief counsel under then-Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.). In each of these roles, Brian has set an example of bipartisanship, integrity, and work ethic that has made an impression on each of his colleagues.
“I have greatly enjoyed working with Brian and I will miss serving with him. I wish Brian and his wife, Liz, well in this next chapter of their lives.”
Senator Coons is Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations and a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
