Judge nominated to be U.S. attorney for central N.C.
RALEIGH (AP) — President Barack Obama has nominated a judge and son of a former state senator to serve as U.S. attorney for the middle district of North Carolina.
The White House said in a news release Wednesday that Ripley Rand was nominated to replace Anna Mills Wagoner. Rand was one of several people recommended for the post by U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan.
Rand has served as a superior court judge since 2002. Before that, he was an assistant district attorney in Wake County from 1997 to 2002 and in Cumberland County in 1997.
He graduated from the University of North Carolina Law School in 1995 and was a research assistant to former N.C. Chief Justice Burley Mitchell.
He is the son of former Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, who resigned Dec. 31 to lead the state parole commission.
