The Bush administration has nominated Washington County Circuit Judge Marco Hernandez to be a federal judge.
If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Hernandez would replace U.S. District Judge Garr King, who has announced his retirement.
Hernandez was recommended by Republican Senator Gordon Smith, who sent Hernandez's name to the White House without opposition from his Democratic Senate colleague from Oregon, Ron Wyden.
The 50-year-old Hernandez was appointed a state circuit court judge in 1995.
