In response to an out of control crime wave plaguing Washington, D.C., President Trump announced that the federal government would be taking control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and that he would deploy national guard troops to the capital city. Unfortunately, this crime wave is not limited to Washington, D.C., and it is running rampant in Democrat-run cities across America. Join RNLA for a webinar discussing the Trump administration's efforts to keep Americans safe in crime-ridden cities across the country.

 

About the Speaker

Zack Smith is a Senior Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation. He previously served for several years as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Northern District of Florida. Prior to that, he spent two years as an associate in the Washington, D.C. office of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, which he joined after clerking for the Hon. Emmett R. Cox on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.  Smith received his undergraduate, master’s, and law degrees from the University of Florida. During law school, Smith served as the Editor in Chief of the Florida Law Review and served on the executive boards of several student organizations, including the UF Chapter of the Federalist Society.

Rachel Wright is the National Policy Director for Right On Crime. Prior to joining Right on Crime, Rachel served as an Assistant Solicitor General at the Kentucky Office of the Attorney General. Rachel also spent five years as counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington, D.C., where she advised Senators on legislation and committee hearings, particularly those dealing with illicit drug policy and criminal justice reform. In this position, Rachel was fortunate to staff Senator Grassley (R-Iowa) on the implementation of the First Step Act, as well as several other criminal justice focused bills. Rachel began her legal career as an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in Kenton County, Kentucky, where she specialized on drug possession cases, particularly those where alternatives to incarceration – such as diversion and drug court – were effective. She also got to participate in multiple jury trials, including attempted murder, arson, and rape. Rachel earned her bachelor’s degrees in political science and Spanish from the University of Kentucky and her J.D. from the University of Cincinnati.
