WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) issued the statement below following the Senate’s confirmation of Andy Luger to serve as U.S. Attorney for Minnesota.

“Andy Luger is a dedicated public servant who will work to uphold justice and protect Minnesotans as our United States Attorney. I am confident he will serve our state with distinction and I am proud to have supported him throughout the confirmation process,” said Klobuchar.

In February of 2021, Klobuchar and Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) announced the formation of a selection committee of distinguished Minnesotans to assist in making recommendations to the President for candidates to serve as U.S. Attorney for Minnesota. The Committee was chaired by John Choi, Ramsey County Attorney. Klobuchar shepherded Luger’s nomination through the Senate Judiciary Committee on which she serves, and led the confirmation efforts on the Senate floor where Luger was confirmed with a bipartisan vote.
