                    Nomination of Sanket J. Bulsara

  Mr. President, off the floor, the Senate is also moving forward with 
more of President Biden's judicial nominees.
  I just returned from the Judiciary Committee, where I had the honor 
of introducing Judge Sanket Bulsara, whom I recommended to President 
Biden to serve as a district judge for the Eastern District of New 
York.
  Judge Bulsara made history in 2017 as the first South Asian-American 
judge to serve in any court within the Second Circuit when appointed as 
a magistrate judge for the Eastern District of New York.
  New York's South Asian population, I am proud to say, is one of the 
very fastest growing in New York. We have the largest South Asian 
community in a metropolitan area in the country, and these folks are 
hard-working. They raise good families. They make sure they do 
everything they can to see their children have better lives than they 
do, often through education and study and hard work.
  They are law-abiding, and they are just great Americans, part of the 
American dream. And so I feel proud when they are elevated to an 
exalted position like Federal judge.
  Judge Bulsara is the epitome of the American dream, just like so many 
in the South Asian community. He is the proud son of hard-working 
immigrant parents from Kenya and India, and a graduate of Harvard 
University and Harvard Law School. He has considerable experience in 
both the public and private sectors. If confirmed, Judge Bulsara would 
make an exceptional addition to the Eastern District, and I am very 
proud to champion his nomination.
