“Mr. President, today the Senate will vote to confirm Jeremy C. Daniel to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. A native Chicagoan, Mr. Daniel received his bachelor's degree from Illinois Wesleyan University and his law degree from Loyola University Chicago School of Law. Mr. Daniel has served his country in more ways than one. As an undergraduate student, he served as a U.S. Marine Corps Reservist. After he graduated, Mr. Daniel served as a first lieutenant in the Marine Corps and completed tours in Japan and South Korea. Following law school, Mr. Daniel worked in private practice on intellectual property cases for several years before clerking for Judge Virginia Kendall on the Northern District of Illinois. In 2014, Mr. Daniel returned to public service, becoming an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of Illinois. In this role, he has prosecuted a wide range of Federal crimes, including violations of drug and firearm laws, gang cases, and financial crimes. Since 2019, Mr. Daniel has served as deputy chief of the Narcotics and Money Laundering Section. In addition to prosecuting his own cases, he supervises other attorneys in the section. The American Bar Association rated Mr. Daniel unanimously ``well qualified.'' Given his breadth of experience practicing in the Northern District of Illinois and his expertise in intellectual property and criminal law, Senator Duckworth and I strongly support Mr. Daniel. He will be an outstanding judge.…”
