WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on the Senate Judiciary Committee voting to advance Daniel M. Traynor’s nomination to be U.S. District Judge for North Dakota:

“I am thankful to see my colleagues join me in supporting Dan’s nomination. Dan is an exceptional man with excellent qualifications and a reputation for going above and beyond in serving his community, and I know he will continue to do that once confirmed to this new role.” 

Senator Cramer recommended Traynor for this position to President Trump- who nominated him in August- and has strongly advocated for Traynor throughout this process.
