NOMINATION OF SARA DARROW
Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I rise in strong support of the nomination
of Sara Darrow to serve as a district court judge for the Central
District of Illinois.
Sara Darrow is a superb nominee, and she will make an excellent
addition to the Federal bench.
Her nomination is not controversial. She had her hearing before the
Judiciary Committee in April and was reported out of the committee by
unanimous voice vote on May 12.
Sara Darrow's name was recommended to me by a bipartisan merit
selection committee that I established to consider applicants for
judicial vacancies.
I was proud to recommend her name to the President last year, and I
was pleased to see the President nominate her to fill the Central
District judgeship that was vacated when Judge Joe Billy McDade took
senior status last year.
I want to thank Chairman Pat Leahy of the Judiciary Committee for
moving Ms. Darrow's nomination through the committee. I also want to
thank Senator Mark Kirk for his support of this nomination.
Once the Senate confirms Sara Darrow, we will finally have a full
complement of judges for the Central District of Illinois. Last year
there was only one judge in this district--Chief Judge Mike McCuskey--
and three judgeships were vacant.
These vacancies left the Central District in a dire situation. Cases
were grinding to a halt, and Judge McCuskey had to drive all across the
State to try to keep the dockets moving.
Fortunately, earlier this year the Senate confirmed Judge Jim Shadid
and Judge Sue Myerscough to serve in the Central District. They are
serving on the bench now.
And with Sara Darrow on the bench as well, the Central District will
finally be operating at full strength. That is good news for the people
who live in the 46 Illinois counties that make up the Central District.
Sara Darrow has a distinguished record, including her service as a
prosecutor both at the State and Federal level.
She currently serves as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Illinois
Central District, where she has worked since 2003. She works out of the
Rock Island branch of the U.S. Attorney's Office.
She has investigated and prosecuted hundreds of defendants for
various Federal crimes including gang offenses, drug conspiracies, gun
crimes, bank robbery, money laundering, and fraud. She has also written
and argued numerous appeals.
[[Page S5289]]
Since 2007, Ms. Darrow has served as the violent crimes chief for the
U.S. Attorney's Office. She has also served as the office's project
safe neighborhoods coordinator.
Before becoming a Federal prosecutor, Ms. Darrow worked in private
practice in Rock Island, and she also worked as a prosecutor in the
Henry County State's Attorney's Office.
She served as an assistant State's attorney in Henry County from 1999
to 2000, and then as first assistant State's attorney from 2000 to
2003.
While serving at the State's Attorney's Office she prosecuted a wide
range of State felony cases. She also was responsible for supervising
staff attorneys and managing the office's caseload.
Ms. Darrow enjoys an excellent reputation among the legal community
in the Central District. She will serve the people of Illinois well in
her new capacity as a Federal judge.
In addition to her impressive professional accomplishments, Sara
Darrow is an impressive person with a wonderful family.
She is a graduate of Marquette University and Saint Louis University
School of Law.
While a college student at Marquette, she interned in Washington, DC,
for Senator Carl Levin. It was on Capitol Hill where Sara met and began
dating her husband Clarence, who was then working for Congressman Lane
Evans.
Sara and Clarence are now blessed to be the proud parents of six
children: Connor, age 14; Lilia, 13; Augie, 12; Anna Grace, 10; Ella,
8; and Danny, 5.
And Sara Darrow also has an impressive record of service in the
community of Rock Island, IL. She is truly a credit to this community.
In short, Ms. Darrow has the experience, qualifications and
temperament to be an excellent Federal judge.
I enthusiastically support her nomination and urge my colleagues to
do the same.
nomination of gary locke
Mr. ROCKEFELLER. Mr. President, it is my great pleasure to
congratulate and pay tribute to Gary Locke, who has been the Secretary
of Commerce since March 2009 and was recently confirmed by the Senate
to be the U.S. Ambassador to China. Secretary Locke has been a truly
outstanding public servant, and I applaud him as he continues his
service to our country in China. His service truly makes our country a
better place.
As Secretary of Commerce, Gary Locke has been an aggressive leader at
the Department of Commerce, and has earned a reputation as a strong
manager and an innovator.
Among his many successes at Commerce, he has helped innovators by
pushing the Patent and Trademark Office to streamline the process to
get a patent.
Secretary Locke worked with the Economic Development Administration
to streamline its approval process. The EDA is a crucial program, which
makes business-development grants to distressed communities. Programs
such as EDA help ordinary Americans and small businesses and will help
move the economy forward. I appreciate Secretary Locke's commitment to
programs such as EDA and helping these communities.
In this time of fiscal austerity, he brought the 2010 census in 25
percent under budget, saving taxpayers $1.9 billion. He led an
organization that still got the census information that we need to get
a true picture of the makeup of our Nation.
I also appreciate his hard work to meet the Obama administration's
goal to double exports within 5 years. Currently, only 1 percent of
American companies export, and Secretary Locke understands the crucial
need for expanded U.S. exports as part of our economic recovery.
I know we will look back and say that Secretary Locke's time at the
Department of Commerce was the beginning of America's return to
prominence as an export nation. As he said, ``It is almost like [we're]
building the foundation of a house or an office tower. All the
foundation work takes a long, long time. You don't really see it. It is
all happening below the street level. . . . After that, then things
really begin to take off''
Thank you, again, Gary, now Ambassador Locke. You are a true public
servant, and that is one of the highest compliments I can convey. I
wish you luck as you continue to serve this great Nation in your new
post.
