WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement after the Senate voted to confirm General James Mattis as Secretary of Defense and General John Kelly as Secretary of Homeland Security:
“The transition period is over and the President deserves to have his cabinet selections in place.
