Allard, Salazar Continue Push for Judicial Confirmations

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Wayne Allard and Ken Salazar have written Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Ranking Member Arlen Specter (R- Penn.) requesting their continued support for the judicial nominations of Christine Arguello and Phillip Brimmer and for their help in securing a floor vote for the two nominees to fill vacancies on the U.S. District Court in Colorado.

"It is incumbent on the Senate to proceed with these nominations to fill two of the three vacant judgeships at the Colorado District Court,” wrote Allard and Salazar. “With your continued support, we are hopeful that these nomination will gain approval before the conclusion of the 110th Congress so we can ensure the efficient administration of justice in Colorado.”
