Cianchette Nominated As
Ambassador to Costa Rica
Peter Cianchette, the
National Committeeman
for the Maine Republican
Party and former
candidate for governor,
has been nominated as
the U.S. ambassador to
Costa Rica by President
George W. Bush.
Cianchette serves as a
partner at CHK Capital
Partners, a strategic
planning firm.
Cianchette said
Wednesday that he can't
comment on the pending
nomination until it has
gone through the U.S.
Senate.
Trey Bohn, a White House
spokesman, said there is
broad bipartisan support
for Cianchette's
nomination. He said he
is not sure of
Cianchette's background
in Latin American
issues. It was
Cianchette's extensive
experience in the public
and private sectors that
made him an appealing
candidate, Bohn said.
