FRANKFORT Ky. (June 20, 2025) — The following is a joint statement from Senate Majority Leadership supporting President Donald J. Trump's nomination of Chad Meredith to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.

"Chad has a principled legal mind, and his career has been defined by professionalism, fairness, and a deep respect for the constitution. He brings a wealth of experience to this nomination, from the courtroom to the appellate bench, shaped by a devotion to the rule of law.

“We’ve known Chad for over a decade. He is a highly respected attorney with strong character, humility, intelligence, and integrity. Those who have worked with him know his commitment to justice is driven by principle.
