“I rise in support of President Biden's nominee to be the next U.S. district court judge for the District of Minnesota, and that is Jeff Bryan. I want to thank my colleague Tina Smith. The two of us convened a judicial selection committee in our own State with very outstanding people who helped recommend some names to the White House. I would also like to thank Senators Durbin and Graham for helping to move Judge Bryan's nomination through the Judiciary Committee--on which the Presiding Officer serves--on a bipartisan basis and to thank Leader Schumer for making time for the Senate to consider his nomination. Judge Bryan is a dedicated public servant with a distinguished career spanning over 16 years serving the people of Minnesota, including as a State court judge and as a former Federal prosecutor. Through his devotion to justice and the rule of law, he has earned the respect and support of judges, attorneys, and law enforcement officials across the political spectrum. This is why he received a strong vote in the Judiciary Committee and why I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will support his confirmation. Judge Bryan was born in an Army hospital in Fort Bragg. His mom was an English teacher, and his dad was a captain with the 82nd Airborne who instilled in Judge Bryan an appreciation for public service.
