WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) applauded the confirmation of Stephen McAllister of Lawrence, Kan. as the United States Attorney for the District of Kansas.

“I am pleased the Senate unanimously confirmed Professor McAllister’s nomination,” said Sen. Moran. “I have known Mr. McAllister for years, as he grew up in Lucas down the road from my hometown. He is a bright legal mind and his litigation experience will serve him well as U.S. Attorney for the District of Kansas. He is a veteran litigator with a distinguished career in private practice and as the Solicitor General of Kansas, in addition to serving as a law professor at the University of Kansas. In addition, Mr. McAllister had the honor of clerking for Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Clarence Thomas.”

McAllister, a University of Kansas School of Law graduate, will serve as the chief federal law enforcement officer in the state of Kansas by representing the federal government in civil and criminal matters before federal courts of his jurisdiction. In addition, the United States Attorney also takes a key leadership role in coordinating law enforcement activities and training.
