Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River) applauded the renomination of Ryan Bounds to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.\nThe President's nomination of Ryan Bounds to serve on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is welcome news for rural Oregon. Born and raised in Hermiston, Ryan has never lost touch with his roots and understands well the way of life in our communities, said Walden. He knows firsthand the dominant role federal decisions can make in our region where a majority of land is managed by the federal government. Ryan is also a highly talented and accomplished legal practitioner, with a breadth of experience before both trial and appellate courts.\nRyan Bounds serves as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Oregon, where he prosecutes criminal cases on behalf of the United States. Previously, he was a Special Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.\nRural Oregon deserves both a chance for a more balanced judicial approach and a talented legal practitioner who understands the impact these decisions have on our way of life, said Walden. Ryan's deep roots in rural Oregon, respect for tradition, precedent, and deference to the political branches of the state and federal governments will provide rural Oregon with that important voice on the bench. He is uniquely qualified for this judgeship. His commitment to the rule of law, liberty and self-government are, in my mind, beyond question. I strongly support his nomination and look forward to the Senate moving promptly to confirm him for this seat on the Ninth Circuit.\nOn January 5, President Trump renominated Ryan Bounds to serve as a Circuit Court Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.\nMr. Bounds' nomination has the support of local lawmakers, community leaders, and well respected legal practitioners in Oregon, including:\nThe City Council of Hermiston, Oregon\nThe City Council of Pendleton, Oregon\nOregon State Senator Bill Hansell\nOregon State Senator Tim Knopp\nOregon State Senator Betsy Johnson\nOregon State Senator Fred Girod\nOregon State Senator Dennis Linthicum\nOregon State Senator Kim Thatcher\nOregon State Senator Jackie Winters\nOregon State Senator Arnie Roblan\nOregon State Senator Ted Ferriolli\nOregon State Senator Herman Baertschiger Jr.\nOregon State Senator Alan DeBoer\nOregon State Senator Jeff Kruse\nOregon State Senator Alan Olsen\nOregon State Senator Chuck Thomsen\nOregon State senator Lee Beyer\nOregon Wheat Growers League\nAmy Baggio, Esq.
