Iowa County sheriff Robert Rotter has been nominated to serve as the U.S. Marshal for the Northern District of Iowa.

Iowa’s two senators, Republicans Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, endorsed Rotter’s nomination earlier this week.

Rotter’s nomination now heads to the Judiciary Committee for vetting and consideration. The full Senate will vote on the nomination after receiving the Committee’s recommendation.

Rotter is currently serving his fifth term as the Sheriff of Iowa County and has worked in Iowa’s state and local law enforcement for over 30 years.  He has also completed extensive training by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
