Law Enforcement expressed that Senator Sessions would be an outstanding nominee for U.S. Attorney General. Sen.

“We appreciate Chairman Grassley’s continued support of law enforcement and we are overjoyed to have the complete support of the next Attorney General, Senator Jeff Sessions,” said NSA President Greg Champagne. “We encouraged all of our Senators to support the nomination and outlined law enforcement’s strong backing of Senator Sessions.”
"Throughout his career, Senator Sessions has shown his full support of the law enforcement community and NAPO strongly believes he will serve us well as the next United States Attorney General", said National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) Executive Director Bill Johnson. "We thank Chairman Grassley for taking the time to meet with us and we look forward to working with him to ensure Senator Sessions is confirmed as the next Attorney General."
