“I rise in support of a New Mexican named Judith Herrera to be United States District Judge for the District of New Mexico. I believe everyone knows that the administration of justice is one of the most significant pillars of good government. I think in this instance the President has sent us an extraordinary person to be a judge in the District of New Mexico. We have a vacancy there because of a justice who took senior status. We have a tremendous overload, and I am very pleased that we finally got to the point where we could have another judge. Maybe we can begin to take care of this enormous overload. I thank everyone who worked on this nomination. Her credentials are impeccable. Every group that needed to recommended her. Judith Herrera is a resident of Santa Fe, NM. She attended the University of New Mexico. She then attended the Georgetown University Law Center where she earned her law degree. We, in New Mexico, are fortunate that Judy decided to return to New Mexico upon completion of her law degree.”
