Arkansas: Senator Mark Pryor is doing his part to speed up federal appointments in Arkansas. Last week, he recommended three candidates for appointment to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas to President Barack Obama. The vacancy that needs filled is that of James M. Moody Sr., who stepped down to assume senior status.[1]

The recommended nominees are Kristine G. Baker, Jane W. Duke and Colette D. Honorable. Pryor said, "They each have experience, intellect, enthusiasm and thoughtfulness. Any one of them could serve with distinction."[1] Chiming in on the names is the other Senator from Arkansas, John Boozman. He seconded all three candidates.[1]
