Senate Judiciary Committee Votes To Advance Twelve Judicial And Executive Nominees To The Full Senate
Press Release
Issues: Judicial Branch
"We voted to advance nine highly qualified, diverse nominees for lifetime positions on our federal district courts, and we will continue to advance them at an efficient pace. We also advanced one nominee to the Court of Federal Claims and two executive nominees, including April Perry to be the first woman to serve as U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of Illinois. Unfortunately, Ms. Perry will likely join other U.S. Attorney nominees being blocked by the junior Senator from Ohio. If the Republican Party wants to continue to project as the "party of law and order,' they will release their holds on these important law enforcement officers."
