Richmond Applauds Confirmation of Loretta Lynch as Attorney General | 2015-05-06 | 2015 | 2015-05 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC Today Rep. Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement regarding the confirmation of U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch as the 83rd Attorney General of the United States: I wish to congratulate U.S. Attorney Lynch on todays historic vote. Her confirmation as the first African American female Attorney General is long overdue, but well-deserved. Her intellect, tenacity, and work ethic brought her to this point, and I am certain it will bring her many successes as Attorney General. I look forward to working with her to advance the cause of justice in communities throughout the country, safeguard the right to vote, stymie the incarceration epidemic, and establish a greater level of confidence in our criminal justice system for all Americans I salute Attorney General Eric Holder for his stellar service over the past 6 years. During his tenure, he addressed many injustices and laid the foundation for building a better and more equal standard of justice in this country ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
