Sen. Salazar & C. Boyden Gray Agree Faith Should Not Be a Consideration for Judicial Nominees Washington, D.C. – United States Senator Ken Salazar and C. Boyden Gray, nominee for United States Ambassador to the European Union, met today and discussed his nomination. Senator Salazar and Mr. Gray agreed to the following statement in the meeting: “We agree that the faith of a person should not be a consideration on their nomination or confirmation for any judicial position in the United States.” The statement addresses Senator Salazar’s concerns leading to his hold on the nomination. Therefore, Senator Salazar will lift the “hold” he had placed on Mr. Gray’s nomination. # # # |
