ATTORNEY GENERAL LUTHER STRANGE CONGRATULATES SENATOR
JEFF SESSIONS ON HIS NOMINATION FOR U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL
(MONTGOMERY) – Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange issued the
following statement congratulating Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions on his nomination for
United States Attorney General by President-elect Donald Trump.
“Today I want to congratulate Jeff Sessions on his nomination to be our nation’s
Attorney General. Senator Sessions is a credit to our state and to our nation, and I know
that he will make us all proud in his new role where he will be a champion for the rule
of law.
“From the day Jeff Sessions stepped foot on the floor of the United States Senate,
he has never forgotten where he came from or who he represents. He has worked
tirelessly for the people of Alabama, fighting to bring home jobs and economic
development, to secure our borders, and to ensure that our military men and women
receive all the support they need to succeed – whether on the battlefield, in a veterans’
hospital, or in their civilian lives. He leaves very big shoes to fill.
“There will be a time to decide who will try to fill those shoes, but that is for
another day. Today is about Jeff Sessions, the legacy he leaves behind, and the good
work for our country we know he is yet to achieve. In his new role, I join all Alabamians
in wishing him good luck and Godspeed.
“Senator Sessions, you make us proud.”
