U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) introduced U.S. Attorney David Clay Fowlkes at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, supporting his nomination to serve as a judge on the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.
Boozman highlighted Fowlkes’ qualifications and professional background during his remarks to the committee. “His expertise and temperament will undoubtedly serve him well as a judge, which is why Senator Cotton and I applaud President Trump for selecting him to fill this post,” Boozman said.
Fowlkes, originally from Harrison, Arkansas, currently serves as U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, covering 34 counties in the state. He is a graduate of Arkansas State University and the University of Arkansas Law School. His career includes roles such as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Benton County and various positions within the U.S. Attorney’s Office for nearly two decades.
Boozman described Fowlkes as having earned respect throughout his career: “He has built a reputation as a principled prosecutor who approaches every case with steady judgment, fairness and unwavering commitment to the rule of law.”
Boozman concluded by urging support for Fowlkes’ nomination: “I strongly support his nomination and urge my colleagues to do the same.”
