WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.), applauded President Trump’s nomination of Peter Strasser for U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana.  Mr. Strasser, a retired Navy Reserve captain, JAGC, is currently a partner at Chaffe McCall, LLP in New Orleans.  He previously served as an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana. 

“Mr. Strasser is a sound choice for U.S. attorney of the Eastern District,” said Sen. Kennedy.  “He has a wealth of legal experience and can smoothly transition into the job.  I look forward to hearing Mr. Strasser’s testimony during the nominations hearing at the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

“Strasser is an excellent pick for this position and he will serve Louisiana and our country well,” said Dr. Cassidy. “His extensive experience, including years spent as an assistant U.S. attorney in New Orleans, should ensure a smooth transition and I look forward to voting for his confirmation.”
