WASHINGTON, DC — The Senate unanimously confirmed the nomination of Andrew Murray as U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina Thursday.
Murray, who has served as Mecklenburg County District Attorney since 2011, was nominated by President Trump after a recommendation from Senators Thom Tillis and Richard Burr.
Both Tillis and Burr issued the following statements following Murray’s confirmation:
“Andrew Murray has a decorated career in public service between his 35-year career in the United States Coast Guard and most recently as the District Attorney for the largest prosecutorial district in North Carolina,” said Senator Thom Tillis. “I applaud the Senate for confirming Andrew and I look forward to him serving the people of Western North Carolina.”
“I’m very pleased to see Andrew confirmed to be the next U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina,” said Senator Richard Burr. “I have the utmost confidence that he will serve the people of North Carolina well in this role, and I wish him all the best.”
Murray, a graduate from the University of North Carolina School of Law, began his law career at the Mecklenburg County DA’s Office, where he served as an Assistant DA until his election to District Attorney in 2011.
