Nomination of Howard Nielson to the U.S. District Court of Utah

May. 22, 2019

The AFL-CIO opposes the nomination of Howard Nielson to serve on the United States District Court of Utah. In our view, his record of extreme ideological partisanship makes him an unfit candidate. His nomination was confirmed on May 22, 2019.
