WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today following the Senate confirmation of Robert Duncan, Jr. of Kentucky to serve as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky:

“I congratulate Robert Duncan, Jr. on his confirmation as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Robert will use his experience prosecuting drug crimes to help communities in our state combat the heroin and prescription drug epidemic. I look forward to his leadership in the law enforcement community, and I commend his willingness to serve our Commonwealth and our nation.”

‘Yesterday, Senators, members of the administration, and tax reform advocates met here in the Capitol to discuss a mutual vision for relief. They shared the goals of simplicity, fairness and economic growth. These are the same goals that I have. They’re the same goals the House wrote into its legislation. They’re the same goals the president asked us to consider. And – most importantly – they are the goals shared by many Americans across the political spectrum.’

‘As we dedicate this place of honor today, we all hope and pray that many more of us will have the opportunity to shake the hand of a hero upon his or her own homecoming. Until that day, we will continue to hold this chair open as a symbol on behalf of a hopeful and grateful nation.’
