Bill Richardson, Inter-American Dialogue member and former New Mexico governor, has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Four Democratic Senators nominated Richardson for his role in rescuing Americans. The Hill highlights Richardson’s role in negotiating the release of Brittney Griner after she was detained in Russia.
“Needless to say, I am honored by this nomination of a prestigious award, knowing it’s a long shot,” Richardson told The Hill. “I’m especially humbled by the support of American hostage families and human rights families. But hostage diplomacy worldwide is only going to increase and is at the very least here to stay, especially affecting Americans.”
Bill Richardson is a member of the Inter-American Dialogue.
