On Tuesday morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee began their hearing to confirm Alabama United States Senator Jeff Sessions as U.S. Attorney General.
Alabama Republican Party Chairman Terry Lathan issued the following statement on Alabama United States Senator Jeff Sessions’ confirmation hearing:
“The introduction of President-elect Trump’s United States Attorney General nominee, Alabama’s own Jeff Sessions, was full of positive and honorable accolades. In introducing his friend and colleague, we are proud of Senator Richard Shelby’s solid support and words of wisdom he shared with our nation on behalf of Senator Sessions.”
“Alabama knows Senator Sessions very well. In fact, he was the only United States Senator in 2014 that had no opposition for re-election. His dedication to the laws of our lands and deep respect for our citizens has earned him great honor to all who know and have worked with him.”
“Endorsements from civil rights leaders, law enforcement organizations, minority ministers, and millions of Americans, show that Senator Sessions will be a strong Attorney General. His solid history of civil rights support and focus on the laws will show that he is the right person for this job.”
“It is a true moment of pride that Alabama shares the story and history of the life of Jeff Sessions with our nation. Senator Sessions is a patriot who loves our country and our Constitution. He will hold the Attorney General’s office to the highest integrity and honor that it deserves.”
“While the state of Alabama will miss him in the halls of Congress, we recognize that America needs his wisdom, honor and strength to be the next United States Attorney General. We couldn’t be prouder of Jeff Sessions.”
