I know I speak for all of my colleagues when I say that Jane will be greatly missed. That said, Jane is more than worthy of this recognition and honor, and I know she is excited about this opportunity and ready to take this next step in her incredible career. The District of New Hampshire will be well served with Jane Young as United States Attorney, and we are eager to partner with Jane in her new role to continue our great work for the citizens of our State.
