Sullivan Meets with Attorney General Nominee William Barr

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan released the following statement after meeting with William Barr, President Trump’s nominee to serve as the next Attorney General of the United States.

“Mr. Barr and I had a detailed discussion on his priorities for the Department of Justice, and on many issues important to Alaska. I was very impressed with our conversation,” said Senator Sullivan. “Specifically, I made sure to invite him to Alaska and highlighted Alaska’s unique position under federal law, including ANCSA and ANILCA. We discussed his view of the Second Amendment, an incredibly important issue for our state. I am confident that he will protect our right to bear arms, as well as our other important constitutional rights.

“Mr. Barr is a patriot. He didn’t have to take this job. He didn’t have to put his family through this process. But he feels a sense of duty to lead the Justice Department in the right direction. America will be lucky to have him. I look forward to voting for his confirmation.”
