Carter is a staff attorney for the D.C. Public DefenderService (PDS). Over three quarters of offenders under the jurisdiction of the USPC are D.C. residents. Norton had previously recommended Carter to President Obama, but Carter's nomination was never voted on by the Senate. Like President Clinton, President Obama granted Norton senatorial courtesy for certain Senate-confirmed positions such as USPC. Norton originally recommended Carter from a number of candidates screened by her Federal Law Enforcement Nominating Commission, which was comprised of D.C. residents from all eight wards. Trump nominated Carter on October 17. I deeply appreciate Leader Schumer's recommendation of D.C. resident Almo Carter for the USPC, Norton said. Ms. Carter will bring valuable expertise and management experience that prepares her to be successful in her work for D.C. residents on the U.S. Parole Commission. I look forward to supporting her nomination to ensure she is quickly confirmed by the Senate. Carter has served as a Staff Attorney for PDS since 1999. After graduating from Howard University School of Law in 1998, Ms. Carter clerked for a judge on the D.C. Superior Court. Prior to law school, she worked as associate director of a children's advocacy and service provider for three years. Ms. Carter received a B.A. from the University of Maryland. Ms. Carter is a long-time D.C. resident. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
