Kyle brings extensive knowledge of both our state and our court system to the federal bench, having served the District of Alaska as a federal prosecutor and U.S. Magistrate Judge, a position he has held in Alaska for the past five years.

His extensive experience, professionalism, and judicial temperament make him exceptionally well-qualified for this role.

This is an individual that is not only qualified for this position, he is ready to hit the ground running as a U.S. District Court judge.

I join Alaskans in condolences as we learn of the plane crash in Cape Newenham today.
