Richmond Urges Swift Confirmation of Loretta Lynch | 2015-01-29 | 2015 | 2015-01 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC – Rep. Richmond (LA-02) released the following statement today in support of Loretta Lynch’s nomination as the next Attorney General of the United States: “Loretta Lynch is a brilliant legal scholar and has been dedicated public servant through two administrations,” said Rep. Richmond. “A Harvard graduate and distinguished prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York, she is well qualified and has exhibited an exceptional ability to combat crime and corruption in one of the nation’s toughest districts.” “Throughout her tenure, she has taken on violent criminals and prosecuted vicious terrorists as a member of the U.S. Attorney’s office. When confirmed as our next Attorney General, I have full confidence that she will bring the same vigor for justice to safeguarding the right to vote, continuing to stymie the incarceration epidemic, and establishing a greater level of confidence in our criminal justice system for all Americans.” “I look forward to working with Attorney General Lynch to carry on the tremendous progress made under the leadership of Attorney General Holder, and building a more efficient and equal standard of justice in this country.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
