the first nomination is Juan Sanchez. He was born in Puerto Rico. He immigrated to the United States. This is a great Horatio Alger's success story. He was educated at City College of New York, bachelor's degree with cum laude. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He has been in the private practice of law and has performed community service in the Legal Aid Society for the last 5 years. He has been a common pleas judge in Chester County, PA. He brings outstanding credentials and is a product of the nominating panel organized by my distinguished colleague, Senator Santorum, and myself.
