WISCONSIN – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) applauded the Senate’s bipartisan vote to confirm Byron Conway to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

“The people of Wisconsin deserve to have qualified, experienced, impartial judges working for them – and I am confident that’s just what we will get with Byron Conway. I was proud to work with Senator Johnson to stand up our bipartisan nominating commission and earn the support from both Democrats and Republicans alike in the Senate. Byron Conway has a proven track record and temperament for this position, and I look forward to seeing him faithfully serve Wisconsin’s Eastern District with fairness and distinction,” said Senator Baldwin.

Conway was recommended to Senators Baldwin and Ron Johnson (R-WI) by the bipartisan Wisconsin Federal Nominating Commission that they established to help find candidates for federal judicial positions and United States Attorneys during the 118th Congress. The Senators then recommended Conway to the White House and, in July, the White House announced that they heeded that call and nominated Conway for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Later that month, both Senators returned their blue slips to the Senate Judiciary Committee, leading to the Judiciary Committee’s bipartisan vote in support of his nomination and teeing up his confirmation by the full Senate today.
