She was first nominated to serve in 2020, also by President Trump.
The president has renominated Acting Chair Andrea R. Lucas to another five-year term at the EEOC, where she has served as a member since 2020. She was nominated by Trump during his first term. Before her appointment to the EEOC, Lucas practiced labor and employment law for Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, LLP in Washington, D.C., and she also clerked for a federal district court.
“I am honored to be nominated by President Trump to serve a second term at the EEOC, our nation’s premier civil rights agency enforcing federal employment antidiscrimination laws,” Lucas said. “I appreciate the opportunity, if confirmed, to further our work of restoring evenhanded enforcement of employment civil rights laws for all Americans. Part of that work is simply clarifying longstanding civil rights rules that have been obscured by unequal enforcement in recent years.”
