Washington, D.C. – Senators
Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) released the
following statement today after President Joseph R. Biden announced that he has
nominated Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins to serve as U.S.
Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. Senators Warren and Markey
recommended District Attorney Rollins as their candidate for the U.S. Attorney
role.
"District Attorney Rollins is a great choice for U.S. Attorney, and we
were proud to recommend her to the Biden administration,” said Senators Warren
and Markey. “District Attorney Rollins is a national leader on transforming the
criminal justice system and shifting away from an approach based on punishment
and penalization to one that combats the root causes of injustice, whether it
be poverty, substance use, or racial disparity. She has prosecutorial
experience, and is dedicated and committed to advancing equal justice for all,
and we are certain that she will be a tremendous U.S. Attorney. We will work to
make sure she is confirmed as quickly as possible.”
