Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) today endorsed Iowan Robert Rotter’s nomination to serve as the U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Iowa. “I’m proud to endorse Robert Rotter to be U.S. Marshal for Iowa’s Northern District,” Grassley said. “I was glad to join Senator Ernst in recommending Sheriff Rotter for the position, and I thank President Trump for taking our recommendation. With over three decades of experience in state and local law enforcement, Sheriff Rotter is an excellent candidate to protect and serve the people of Iowa. He has my enthusiastic support, and as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I'll work to move his nomination forward swiftly.” “I’m proud to see Iowan Robert Rotter nominated to serve as U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Iowa,” Ernst said. “As a longtime sheriff, he’s shown unwavering commitment to protecting Iowans and keeping our communities safe. I’m confident he’ll bring the same dedication and integrity to this new role once he is confirmed.” Rotter’s nomination now heads to the Judiciary Committee for vetting and consideration. The full Senate will vote on his nomination after receiving the Committee’s recommendation. Background: Rotter is currently serving his fifth term as the Sheriff of Iowa County and has worked in Iowa’s state and local law enforcement for over 30 years. Rotter served as Iowa County’s first K9 officer and has maintained certifications in technical traffic accident investigations, active shooter training, underwater diving and jail administration. He has also completed extensive training by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. As Iowa County Sheriff, Rotter spearheaded a program to properly dispose of expired and unused prescription and over-the-counter medication, preventing hundreds of pounds of drugs from falling into the wrong hands. Rotter also initiated a county wide active shooter program that helped train over 1,500 students, teachers, industrial and retail employees. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
