Today (Nov. 22), I, Congressman Tom Emmer, along with Congressmen Pete Stauber and Brad Finstad and Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach, announced that we have formed a Nominations Committee to help recommend candidates to President Trump for U.S. Attorney, U.S. Marshal, and other vacancies that may arise in Minnesota.

Our committee’s members are some of Minnesota’s sharpest legal minds with a wealth of experience and expertise. We are confident in their ability to select individuals who will uphold the rule of law and who share our judicial philosophy. We are eager to review the committee’s work and to provide President Trump with the best and brightest public servants.

The Committee will be Chaired by the Honorable G. Barry Anderson, former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice.

Additional Committee members include:

• David Asp, Partner at Lockridge Grindal Nauen PLLP;

• John Hinderaker, President of the Center of the American Experiment;

• Allie Howell, Trial and Appellate Counsel at the Upper Midwest Law Center;

• Tad Jude, former Judge in Minnesota’s Tenth Judicial District;

• Ilan Wurman, Julius E. Davis Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota Law School.

Affiliation is provided for identification only and not to indicate any organizational political position.

Interested applicants for U.S. Attorney and U.S. Marshal may email MNnomscommittee@mail.house.gov with a resume, letter of interest, and references by December 20, 2024. Should another nominations committee be created in the U.S. Senate, we encourage applicants to apply to all congressional nominations committees to ensure fair and thorough consideration.
