With changes in presidents come changes in their diplomatic representatives abroad. As part of America's long tradition of democratic transfer of power, I recently submitted my resignation to President Biden and will soon be returning home to the United States. Other US ambassadors will also offer their resignations as an expected part of the transition.

As I conclude my tenure, I am proud to say that the US-Kenya relationship is stronger than ever. With a firm bedrock of support from across America's political spectrum and shepherded by a dedicated team of diplomats at the Embassy, I am confident in the continuance of this positive trajectory.
