Montgomery and Washington D.C. – A coalition of female state attorneys general and senior legal officials has voiced strong support for Pam Bondi’s nomination as the next United States Attorney General. In a letter sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, and Ranking Member Dick Durbin, the officials urged swift confirmation of Bondi’s nomination.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall praised Bondi’s qualifications, stating, “Pam Bondi is an excellent selection for U.S. Attorney General. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated her commitment to the rule of law and the impartial, equal application of it. On Day 1, Pam will be ready to lead and to restore the credibility of the U.S. Department of Justice.”
The coalition’s letter criticized certain policies of the outgoing administration, particularly those stemming from Executive Order 13988, which they argue have undermined women’s protections in areas such as incarceration, human trafficking prevention, and domestic violence. Chief Counsel Katherine Robertson emphasized the need for change, stating, “Our country is ready to turn the page on a dark chapter of the USDOJ, particularly for women and girls. Pam is simply the right Attorney General for her time.”…
