Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed seven U.S. Attorneys to serve on
the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee (AGAC) to fill the vacancies of U.S.
Attorneys who have completed their terms and are rotating off. In his
announcement of the selections in October, the Attorney General also advised
that he has selected Gary Restaino, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, to
serve as the committee’s vice-chair, replacing Cindy Chung, the former U.S.
Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania who is now a judge on the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals. U.S. Attorney Damian Wiliams, for the Southern District
of New York, remains the AGAC Chair.

The newest members of the AGAC are U.S. Attorneys Alexander M.M. Uballez for
the District of New Mexico, Breon Peace for the Eastern District of New York,
Kenneth Parker for the Southern District of Ohio, Natalie K. Wight for the District
of Oregon, Eric G. Olshan for the Western District of Pennsylvania, Alamdar
Hamdani for the Southern District of Texas, and Christopher R. Kavanaugh for the
Western District of Virginia.

The following U.S. Attorneys rotated off the AGAC: Cole Finegan for the District of
Colorado, Brandon Brown for Western District of Louisiana, Dawn Ison for the
Eastern District of Michigan, Trini Ross for the Western District of New York, and
Sandra Hairston for the Middle District of North Carolina.

The AGAC was created in 1973 and advises the Attorney General on matters of
policy, procedure, and management impacting the Offices of the U.S. Attorneys
and elevates the voices of U.S. Attorneys in Department of Justice policies.
