WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) today applauded President Trump’s nomination of Holly Teeter to be U.S. Federal District Court Judge for the District of Kansas.

“Ms. Teeter is a well-qualified and impressive nominee who has my full support to serve Kansans as a federal court judge,” Roberts said. “Since graduating first in her class at the University of Kansas’ School of Law, she has demonstrated an outstanding academic and intellectual ability. She has a broad range of experience – including two clerkships at the federal district court level and current service as Assistant U.S. Attorney. In addition, she is educated as a chemical engineer and has utilized her scientific expertise to help establish rules governing patent law cases. I have no doubt Ms. Teeter will do an excellent job ensuring Kansans are treated fairly in the federal courtroom. I will urge my colleagues to approve her nomination.”

Each nominee must be approved by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and then approved by the full Senate.
