(ALEXANDRIA, VA.) – February 1, 2017: The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) today released a statement in support of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary’s clearing of Jeff Sessions’ nomination for the next U.S. Attorney General.

“The United States is one step closer to having an attorney general that stands for all of the law—not just what he agrees with,” PILF President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said. “Mr. Sessions has proven throughout his career to be a diligent prosecutor of election crimes and is keen to return the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ to its great tradition of protecting the rights of all voters.”

Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) is a 501(c)(3) public interest law firm dedicated to election integrity. The Foundation exists to assist states and others to aid the cause of election integrity and fight against lawlessness in American elections. Drawing on numerous experts in the field, PILF seeks to protect the right to vote and preserve the Constitutional framework of American elections.
