"Attorney General Eric Holder has been an outstanding leader and provided extraordinary service to his country," said Congresswoman McCollum. "Despite relentless partisan opposition, Attorney General Holder has led the fight to advance civil rights, to protect voting rights, and to extend greater equality for LGBT citizens.
