I look forward to hearing from him about this vision and plans for the Department.

He is a man of honor and integrity, dedicated to the faithful and fair enforcement of the law.

We know him to be a leader who has served the people of Alabama--and all Americans--with integrity, with dedication, and with courage.

He is always a gentleman. He is straightforward and fair.

He tells us so with his usual thoughtfulness, humility, and, more importantly, respect.
