Today, Senator Richard Burr and Senator Thom Tillis released the following statement regarding the nomination of Gregory Allyn Forest to be the United States Marshal for the Western District of North Carolina:
“Mr. Forest is an excellent choice for North Carolina’s Western District U.S. Marshal, having served in the same role under President George W. Bush,” said Senator Burr. “With nine years in the Charlotte Police Department and more than twenty years with the Western District of North Carolina in various law enforcement roles, he is well–prepared to serve the people of North Carolina.”
“I applaud the nomination of Gregory Forest to be the Western District Marshal in North Carolina,” said Senator Tillis. “I recommended Mr. Forest to President Trump because he has extensive law enforcement experience in Western North Carolina, including previously serving in the same role under President George W. Bush, and I look forward to supporting his nomination in the U.S. Senate.”
