Utah: Earlier this week judicial nominee Su Chon failed to receive an endorsement from the Senate confirmation committee, but today both nominees, Chon and James Blanch, were confirmed to the Utah Third Judicial District. Some of the committee decided not to endorse Chon, claiming she lacked experience, but Governor Gary R. Herbert stood behind his nominee.
| “ | "Without question Su Chon possesses the skills and experience to be an outstanding judge. For more than 18 years, she has excelled in her practice in both the public and private sectors where she has focused on complex real property and banking issues. She is consistently praised by her colleagues as intelligent, hardworking and ethical-all traits that will serve Utah's judiciary and residents well."[1] - Governor Gary R. Herbert[2] | ” |
Today the Senate voted 17 to 10 confirming Chon as one of the two new Third District judges.[3]
