Letter to Charles Grassley, Chairman, and Patrick Leahy, Ranking Member, Senate Judiciary Committee - Consider Regina Rodriguez Nomination

Letter

Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Leahy:

We write to request that the Senate Judiciary Committee move swiftly to schedule a hearing and a vote on the nomination of Regina M. Rodriguez to fill the vacancy on the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.

Ms. Rodriguez will bring her impressive background in both the public and private sectors to the federal bench. She is currently a partner at Hogan Lovells in Denver, where she handles cases involving complex litigation and government investigations. Prior to joining private practice, Ms. Rodriguez served as Assistant U.S. Attorney and Chief of the Civil Division in the District of Colorado. In 2013, the Hispanic National Bar Association named her the Latina Lawyer of the Year. In 2015, Law Week Colorado named her as a top litigator. Ms. Rodriguez received her B.S., with honors, from the University of Iowa. She earned her J.D. from the University of Colorado Law School.

Ms. Rodriguez has the experience, character, and temperament to serve on the federal bench. It is our hope that the Senate Judiciary Committee will consider the nomination of Regina Rodriguez as soon as possible.

Thank you for your consideration.
