Judge Nicholas Chase
WASHINGTON (KFGO) – The Trump Administration is nominating Nick Chase to be the next U.S. Attorney for North Dakota.
Sens. Kevin Cramer and John Hoeven recommended the nomination.
Chase is a judge for the state’s East Central Judicial District. Before that, he served for 20 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office, including as acting U.S. Attorney. He also has experience in private practice.
If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Chase, who is a Republican, will replace Democrat Mac Schneider who resigned in February after serving in the position for about three years.
The senators say Chase has a proven record of building cooperation among federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies.
“We appreciate the Trump administration nominating Nick to be the U.S. Attorney for North Dakota, and will work to advance his confirmation as quickly as possible,” the senators said in a statement. “Nick has dedicated his career to public service and the pursuit of justice in North Dakota. From dismantling drug smuggling networks to prosecuting major fraud and trafficking cases, Nick has built a reputation rooted in integrity and a deep commitment to public safety. We look forward to working with him in this position to help make communities across our state safer and more secure.”
