Richmond Lauds Recommendation of Kenneth Polite Jr. as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana | 2013-06-27 | 2013 | 2013-06 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC- Today, Congressman Cedric Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement in support of the recommendation of Kenneth Polite Jr. as U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of Louisiana: “I fully support today’s recommendation and I am confident that, if nominated and confirmed, Kenneth is up to the task before him as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Kenneth is a bright young man who has been educated at some of the country’s top educational institutions. In addition to his stellar academic preparation, he also has enjoyed a very productive legal career, including a stint as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York—one of the most intense assignments in the country. In the midst of his academic and professional successes he has remained committed to the community he was born and raised in, the city of New Orleans. For some time, I have stressed the importance of finding someone who can restore integrity to the U.S. Attorney’s Office so that it can again gain the public’s trust. In Kenneth I think we have found that person. Kenneth represents the best of a new generation of leaders poised to lead our region and state forward. If confirmed, he would become U.S. Attorney close to the same age our state’s chief executive assumed his current role.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
