“I commend President Biden on the selection of Kimberly Cheatle to serve as the next Director of the U.S. Secret Service.
“Ms. Cheatle is an experienced leader, a veteran of the Secret Service, who advanced through the ranks to become the first woman in the role of Assistant Director of the Office of Protective Operations before departing for the private sector. She has deep knowledge and understanding of the Agency’s missions to investigate and protect. I am confident that her skillset, combined with her fresh perspective, will ensure the Secret Service builds on its strong foundation to grow and evolve into an even more effective agency.
“I thank Director Cheatle for heeding the call to return to public service and I look forward to working together to champion the work of the U.S. Secret Service.
“I also thank current Director Jim Murray for his nearly four decades of service to our country, and we wish him continued success in this next chapter of his great career."
