Career.
Lloyd was an elementary English and social studies teacher before attending law school. He worked in private practice, at the Department of Health and Human Services (IOS/OGC), and on Capitol Hill (Government Reform Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy, and Human Resources). Lloyd worked for the Knights of Columbus where he served as an attorney in the public policy office. In that capacity, he helped shape the organization's humanitarian response and led its policy advocacy on behalf of the ethnic and religious minorities who are victims of ISIS.
In March 2017, Lloyd became the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Media reports have said that Lloyd was "effectively" removed from running the ORR in mid-July 2018 amidst controversy over his anti-abortion actions impacting pregnant minors. In response, Lloyd characterized such reports as "not true." He added, "you can FOIA any day's worth of work and find that I remained the decision-maker until November," and that he received an "outstanding rating -- five out of five" in a performance review.
In November 2018, he took a position in the Center for Faith and Opportunity Initiatives where he served as a senior advisor. In this role, he worked "on outreach to faith-based partners for DHHS." He departed DHHS on June 7, 2019.
In 2020, Lloyd is running for town council in Front Royal, Virginia.
He later won that election and now serves on the council.
Personal life.
Lloyd resides in Front Royal, Virginia with his wife and their seven children.
