WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement today applauding President Trump’s selection of Grand Forks County State Attorney Peter Welte to be U.S. District Court Judge for North Dakota:
“President Trump has made an excellent choice in selecting Peter Welte for this judicial vacancy,” said Senator Cramer. “As a farmer, a graduate of both UND and NDSU, and an accomplished lawyer, Welte has the right background and credentials to effectively serve North Dakotans from the federal bench, and I urge my colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee to take up his nomination quickly.”
