Judge Kolar has been nominated to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh District.\n\nDuring his remarks, Young spoke about Judge Kolar\u2019s background and outlined why he supports his nomination.\n\nSenator Young\u2019s full remarks, as prepared for delivery:\n\nThank you, Chairman Durbin, Ranking Member Graham, and members of the committee.\n\nI come before you today to introduce a fellow Hoosier, Judge Joshua Kolar, as the President\u2019s nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.\n\nYou have seen his bio, and beyond his legal credentials, you are no doubt impressed \u2013 as I was \u2013 by his service in the U.S. Navy Reserves.\n\nThe slogan for the Navy Reserves is \u201cReady now. Any time. Anywhere.\u201d\n\nIn reviewing his judicial record and hearing from his colleagues, it is apparent that that slogan applied not only to Judge Kolar\u2019s military service, but to his courtroom service as well.\n\nI\u2019ve received several letters of support for Judge Kolar, and among the adjectives used to describe him are: thoughtful, decisive, straight-shooter, diligent, civil, professional, and \u201cone of the best\u201d.\n\nThis high praise comes from individuals he has worked for and with in the United States Attorney\u2019s Office as well as those who have appeared before him in his current capacity as magistrate judge.\n\nI\u2019m proud of Indiana\u2019s string of judicial appointments that have been confirmed by bipartisan majorities \u2013\n\nAnd my hope is that this hearing will demonstrate that Judge Kolar is \u201cReady now. Any time. Anywhere.\u201d\n\nAnd is worthy of your support.\n\nThank you.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:35:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/young-introduces-judge-joshua-kolar-nominee-for-the-us-court-of-appeals-for-the-seventh-circuit/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8713090792298317, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
