Obama Nominates Sandy Coats For Law Post
President Barack Obama has nominated Sanford Coats, son of University of Oklahoma Law School Dean Andy Coats, to be the U.S. attorney for the Western District.
"Sandy Coats has had an outstanding reputation in the U.S. Attorney's Office," said Congressman Dan Boren. "He is a wonderful public servant and has also been a personal friend for many years. I am confident that Sandy will do an excellent job for the citizens of the Western District."
Earlier this year, Boren, the only Democrat in the state's congressional delegation, and Governor Brad Henry, also a Democrat, made a number of recommendations for federal jobs in the Obama administration.
Senator Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., also supported Coats' nomination.
Coats has been an assistant U.S. attorney in the Oklahoma City office since 2004 and was chief of the Major Crimes Section from 2007 to 2008. From 1999 to 2003, he was in private law practice in Oklahoma City. He's a graduate of Tulane University and the University of Oklahoma law school. He clerked for Justice Marian Opala of the state Supreme Court.
