Washington, D.C. – Senator Dave McCormick (R-Pennsylvania) announced today that his office will establish independent commissions to identify U.S. Attorney and U.S. Marshal candidates to fill vacancies in the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of Pennsylvania. The three commissions, one in each of the three districts, will be comprised of eight to ten members led by a chair and will be tasked with vetting candidates and making recommendations.
“I want to ensure that the people of Pennsylvania have strong U.S. Attorneys and Marshals working for them to prosecute criminals and keep our communities safe,” Senator McCormick said. “I’m establishing these commissions to ensure that the process for filling these vacancies is rigorous, fair, and produces exceptional candidates who are prepared to serve and protect all Pennsylvanians.”
Senator McCormick’s office will soon name the members and chairs of each commission. His office will also provide information for how to apply to be considered for the U.S. Attorney and U.S. Marshal positions. For questions, please contact pacommission@mccormick.senate.gov.
