“I am happy to recommend, along with Senator Inhofe, the nomination of Ron White to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of the State of Oklahoma. Ron White has been a partner in a prestigious law firm in Tulsa, OK, for 17 years. He is eminently qualified. He has considerable experience in major corporate litigation in Tulsa with sixty percent of his court appearances taking place in Federal court. He is a man of outstanding individual character, and the President could not have picked a more qualified person for this job. A native of Sapulpa, Ron is a 1983 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Oklahoma. He earned his Juris Doctorate (Cum Laude) from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 1986, where he was a member of the Order of the Coif Honor Society. Ron is also very active in his community as a member of both the Philbrook Museum of Art Masters Society and the Tulsa Ballet Founders Society. In addition, he is on the Board of Directors of the Margaret Hudson Program, an organization that helps pregnant teens and young mothers finish high school. Ron has been admitted to the Oklahoma Supreme Court, the U.S. District Court for Northern, Western, and Eastern Districts of Oklahoma, and the U.S. Court of Appeals. Furthermore, he has been rated 'unanimously qualified' by the American Bar Association. Ron is exceptionally qualified to serve as Eastern District Judge for the State of Oklahoma.”
