Idaho Congressman Walt Minnick has named Pocatello City Councilman and state women’s prison warden Brian Underwood as the nominee to be the next U.S. Marshal for Idaho. “He is bright, talented, and recommended by people I know and trust from across the political spectrum,” Minnick said. “He is committed to upholding the law and, most important, he is committed to Idaho. It is my privilege to recommend his name to President Obama for consideration.” The rest of Idaho’s congressional delegation hailed the choice. “The bipartisan committee that Congressman Minnick assembled did a great job in selecting Mr. Underwood for this position,” said Congressman Mike Simpson. “He has the experience and know-how to perform well as our U.S. Marshal.”
Still to be named is Minnick’s nominee for U.S. Attorney for Idaho. Minnick’s office said that won’t be announced until the Obama Administration completes its “vetting process.”
