Member News

MALVERN, Pa., February 27, 2025 — U.S. Senator David McCormick (R-PA) has tapped Saxton & Stump attorney and shareholder Andrew J. Reilly to chair a commission that will recommend candidates for U.S. Attorney and U.S. Marshal positions in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Senator McCormick also appointed two other leaders to head up the regional commissions for Pennsylvania's middle and western districts. Reilly and these appointees will oversee the vetting and selection processes for the U.S. Attorney and U.S. Marshal positions across the Commonwealth. The chairs will ensure the nominations align with the highest standards of capability and service.


In a statement announcing the commission appointments, McCormick emphasized the importance of strong federal law enforcement leadership, stating "Pennsylvanians deserve to have strong U.S. Attorneys and Marshals working for them to uphold the rule of law, prosecute criminals, and keep our communities safe." He also expressed confidence in the commission chairs, noting that their leadership will ensure exceptional candidates are selected.


Reilly joined Saxton & Stump in 2021 and brings decades of leadership experience and serving public and private sector clients in municipal law and litigation. He has a distinguished record of community involvement in Delaware County and has served on municipal, county, state, and education boards in government and the nonprofit sectors. Reilly is also an influential figure in Pennsylvania politics, currently serving as the National Committeeman and Southeast Caucus Chair for the Republican Party of Pennsylvania. He has also served on the Federal Magistrate selection panel and the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board, underscoring his deep understanding of the legal and regulatory landscape.


"I am honored to take on this responsibility and help identify individuals who will serve with integrity and uphold the law," Reilly said. "The roles of U.S. Attorney and U.S. Marshal are critical to maintaining not only public safety, but also public trust in our justice system. I look forward to working with my colleagues to recommend excellent candidates for Senator McCormick’s consideration."


In addition to Reilly's appointment, McCormick announced the chairs for the other district commissions:

Middle District Chair – David Freed: Former U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and District Attorney for Cumberland County.

Western District Chair – Lori Hardiman: Vice President and General Counsel for The First City Company, with a career spanning corporate law and property financing.

“Andy’s extensive legal experience and commitment to public service make him an outstanding choice to lead this commission," said Saxton & Stump CEO James W. Saxton. "His leadership will be instrumental in ensuring that the selection process identifies highly qualified individuals who will serve with distinction in these critical federal roles."


Reilly’s appointment reflects Saxton & Stump’s growing influence in the legal and governmental sectors, further solidifying the firm’s reputation for excellence in legal representation and public service.
