U.S. Senator Gillibrand applauded President Biden for nominating Jennifer L. Rochon to serve on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Gillibrand recommended Rochon to President Biden earlier this year.
“I am proud and grateful that President Biden has nominated Jennifer Rochon to serve on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,” said Gillibrand. “With her deep understanding of federal law, Ms. Rochon will bring a record of accomplishment and a sharp legal mind to the Southern District. She is a qualified and fair-minded nominee and I urge the Senate to move swiftly on her confirmation.”
