U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte today urged her Senate colleagues to support Judge Landya McCafferty's nomination to serve as federal District Court Judge for New Hampshire. Senator Ayotte released the following statement today as the Senate Judiciary Committee met to consider her nomination:
"Judge McCafferty's extensive federal court experience - including her service as U.S. Magistrate Judge for the District of New Hampshire for the past three years - makes her well-qualified for this position on the federal bench. I look forward to supporting her confirmation and I urge my colleagues to act swiftly to approve her nomination."
