01/11/2021

“President-elect Biden and his team have made a tremendous choice in appointing Justin Dews as Deputy Associate Counsel to the President. Justin served me and our office with distinction as Senior Counsel. On matters as varied as election law, social justice, and transportation, among others, I relied heavily on Justin’s counsel and guidance – and it was always sound. I know he’ll serve the President-elect and the Biden-Harris White House with honor, and help restore dignity and a true belief in the rule of law to our government.”
