Biden Court Pick Colleen Holland Withdraws Her Nomination
HuffPost
Holland, who was put forward by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, said it was a “personal decision” to drop her district court nomination.
One of President Joe Biden’s nominees for a U.S. district court seat has withdrawn her nomination, saying it was a personal choice to step back.
Colleen Holland, who Biden nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, told HuffPost on Tuesday that she’s bowing out.
“I have asked the President not to resubmit my nomination to the Senate,” Holland said in a statement. “This was a personal decision made after careful consideration.”
The news was first reported earlier Tuesday by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Biden nominated Holland in August, after she was recommended to the White House by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
