On the recordMay 20, 2020
in a few minutes, the Senate will vote on the nomination of John Heil to serve as a district court judge for Oklahoma. We have three areas in Oklahoma: the Northern District, Eastern district, and Western district. This judge position covers all three of those, and they move to wherever there is the greatest need, and we are in great need. This is a position that we have needed for a while, and I am proud that John Heil has gone through this process. He was overwhelmingly confirmed in his nomination process through committee. I expect him to have wide bipartisan support when it passes this floor in a few moments and look forward to him transitioning from being a great attorney in our State to being a great judge to serve the people of Oklahoma and the United States on the Federal bench. So I am looking forward to that vote being completed.
