Minnesota’s Republican congressional delegation submitted recommendations this week to President Donald Trump for the state’s U.S. attorney and U.S. marshal posts.

“Following a rigorous process, we are confident the following individuals would honorably serve your administration and the American people, uphold the rule of law, and prosecute crime to the fullest extent of the law,” Reps. Tom Emmer, Brad Finstad, Michelle Fischbach, and Pete Stauber wrote in a letter to Trump.

The individuals recommended for the U.S. marshal position are former Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis President Bob Kroll and former Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart.

Three people were recommended for the U.S. attorney job, including Erica MacDonald, who served in the position in the first Trump administration. Others names submitted to the president were attorneys Ronald Schutz and Daniel Rosen.

The recommendations were made with the help of a six-member nominations committee chaired by former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice G. Barry Anderson.
