Friend,

We had some good news when Matt Gaetz withdrew yesterday from consideration to serve as US Attorney General. As Abraham Lincoln once said, ". . . public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed." The public pressure stemming from Gaetz's alleged sexual misconduct and lack of qualifications was a major factor in the failure of Trump to get Gaetz confirmed.

The Attorney General of the United States is one of the most critical positions in our government, charged with upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice for all Americans. This role requires unimpeachable integrity, a commitment to fairness, and a deep respect for the Constitution.

We need leaders in positions of power who will unite, not divide. That’s why I will continue to fight for justice, accountability, and a government that works for everyone. While some of Trump's nominations may feel frightening, my colleagues and I remain ready to fight extremism every step of the way. Let’s continue this fight together.

Thanks for all you have done and continue to do.
