Washington, D.C. – Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley issued the following statement about today’s White House announcement that Karin Immergut has been nominated to fill a vacancy for the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.

“Karin Immergut has a long and distinguished record of public service as U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon and most recently on the bench in Multnomah County Circuit Court.  The choice of Judge Immergut for the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon vacancy fits with our bipartisan state judicial selection committee’s decision that she was among the highest-qualified applicants, and exemplifies how the judicial selection process should work.”
