WICHITA — President Barack Obama’s nomination of a Lawrence attorney to serve on the federal bench got a warm reception in Kansas, including the crucial support of his home state senator.
The president announced his choice of Terrence J. Campbell for the U.S. District Court in Kansas on Thursday. He would succeed U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil, who in 2014 took senior status, a form of semi-retirement. Campbell must still be approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee and confirmed by the full Senate.
