WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced fellow Utahn and District Court Nominee David B. Barlow to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

“David Barlow is someone I’ve known for the last 31 years, and he has served an important role in my life in being not only a friend, but someone who always makes me want to do better” Sen. Lee said. “He is one of those people who by the way he lives his life, the way he interacts with others, the way that I’ve never seen him treat another person with disrespect or anything other than kindness, the way he approaches every task with the utmost degree of professionalism and dedication, it makes everyone around him want to be better.”

“David has the judicial temperament, more than perhaps any other potential candidate, for this or any other judgeship like this and I am honored to know him and it is without reservation that I recommend him strongly for this position and look forward to voting him out of committee and on the floor to have him confirmed.”
