While Senate rules and the pandemic caused a few delays, my confidence in Ms. Smith’s nomination and eventual confirmation has never wavered. I was glad when President Biden accepted my recommendation and nominated Ms. Smith for the position of U.S. Attorney in our territory; her achievements as a Native daughter thus far serve as great evidence of her dedication, grit and overall commitment to serving our community well. President Biden’s commitment to appointments that represent not only the most qualified individuals but nominees that look like America is outstanding. I look forward to Ms. Smith’s service to our country and our territory.” ### |
