Senators Baldwin and Johnson Turn in Blue Slips for Eastern District of Wisconsin Court Judge Nominee
WISCONSIN – U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) both returned their blue slips to the Senate Judiciary Committee, giving their formal stamp of approval on their pick for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Byron Conway. Both Senators from the state of the nominee must return their blue slips in order for federal judicial nominees for district courts to move forward in the confirmation process.
Conway was recommended to Senators Baldwin and Johnson by the bipartisan Wisconsin Federal Nominating Commission that they established to help find candidates for federal judicial positions and United States Attorneys during the 118th Congress. The Senators then recommended Conway to the White House and, last week, the White House announced that they heeded that call and nominated Conway for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
