WASHINGTON – Yesterday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) sent a letter to President Trump to recommend five individuals to fill the vacancy on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The recommendations came as part of their bipartisan Wisconsin Federal Nominating Commission to provide recommendations for nominations during the 119^th Congress for U.S. Attorneys, U.S. District Courts, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

“I want to thank those on the Commission for the considerable time and effort they volunteer to ensure the Wisconsin federal courts and chambers do not become attractive forum shopping venues for partisan activists seeking a judicial bench open to constitutional overreach. I look forward to the President nominating one of these candidates to the Seventh Circuit,” said Sen. Johnson.
