The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday approved Tennessee State Senator Doug Overbey’s nomination to serve as the next United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee:
Senator Lamar Alexander said, “I’ve known Doug for a long time – and I know that Tennessee will be well-served by a man of such good character. Doug is a lifelong East Tennessean and has dedicated his life to service -- practicing law for more than 37 years in East Tennessee and currently serving in the Tennessee General Assembly.
I am glad the Senate Judiciary Committee approved his nomination today, and I look forward to his confirmation.”
