“I rise in support of Andrew Luger. I thank my colleagues for the work they have done to make sure Minnesota has a U.S. attorney in place. I want to particularly thank Leader Reid and Senator McConnell, the two leaders, for their work, as well as Senator Franken. The two of us put together a nonpartisan recommendation coming from the committee, and we are very glad the President took that recommendation and recommended Andrew Luger, with his vast criminal prosecution experience as well as his civil experience. I also thank Senator Grassley for his work as well as Senator Corker. Minnesota has gone 2\1/2\ years without a full-time U.S. attorney, as our U.S. attorney was doing the job as ATF Director at the same time, and the over 100 people who work at the U.S. attorney's office in Minnesota truly deserve a leader. I thank my colleagues for their support. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the nomination of Andrew Mark Luger, of Minnesota, to be United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota? The nomination was confirmed.”
