"Together, we focused on confronting the fentanyl epidemic and keeping Kansans safe from violent crime, including crimes against children, and we paid just amounts when there were just claims against the United States."

She worked for a law firm in New York and then as an assistant prosecuting attorney in Missouri before being appointed U.S. Attorney for Kansas. "Serving the people in my home state as United States Attorney for the District of Kansas has been a high honor," she said. "I am grateful to President Biden for nominating me. I am also grateful to Senators Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall for their support." Brubacher did not give the reason for submitting her resignation.
