Staff ReportsAs Donald Trump edges closer to his highly anticipated inauguration on January 20, the Trump-Vance Transition Team is making waves by announcing key appointments that are sure to resonate with conservative values. Among these new roles, civil rights attorney Leo Terrell has been appointed Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the Department of Justice, while decorated Army veteran Sam Brown has secured the position of Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs at the Department of Veterans Affairs. These selections are emblematic of the incoming administration’s commitment to bringing qualified, principled individuals into the fold.
Leo Terrell, a name that once echoed through the halls of the Democratic Party, has undergone a remarkable transformation, garnering the nickname “Leo 2.0.” This rebranding comes after a serious dose of political reality led him to reflect on his past views. As a Senior Counsel at the DOJ, Terrell’s extensive experience as a civil rights attorney positions him to advocate fervently for American citizens. His law degree from UCLA and a notable track record in high-profile litigation speak volumes about his capabilities. Terrell’s appointment signals a robust commitment to ensuring that the principles of fairness and justice are upheld — without the meddling of extreme leftist ideologies.
On the other hand, Sam Brown represents the epitome of American resilience and dedication. Despite facing defeat in his race against Democrat Senator Jacky Rosen, Brown’s unwavering commitment to service has landed him a prestigious role that will allow him to impact the lives of countless veterans. As the new Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs, Brown, a Purple Heart recipient, is poised to further the cause of veteran welfare. His military service, which included leading troops in battle in Afghanistan, showcases his unwavering patriotism and dedication to his fellow Americans. His history of helping veterans secure vital emergency medications illustrates a soldier’s touch and heartfelt commitment to those who served.
