Hoyer Statement on the Confirmation of Loretta Lynch as Attorney General WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after the Senate voted to confirm Loretta Lynch as the next Attorney General: “I am pleased that the Senate has finally confirmed Loretta Lynch to serve as our country’s next Attorney General. As she makes history as the first African American woman to serve as Attorney General, her experience, her character, and her knowledge will serve the nation well as she guides the Justice Department. “I join in congratulating incoming Attorney General Lynch and look forward to working closely with her and her team at the Justice Department to ensure that Americans are safe, that law enforcement has the tools it needs to do its job effectively, and that our laws are enforced in a way that reflects the American values of equality and fairness. I also thank departing Attorney General Eric Holder for his leadership and service during a time of great challenge for our country and wish him all the best in the future.” Visit www.democraticwhip.gov for more press, floor and member resources
