MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—
President Barack Obama has nominated Minneapolis’ assistant police chief Sharon Lubinski as the next U.S. Marshal for the District of Minnesota, making her the first openly gay U.S. Marshal nominee. She has served in the Minneapolis Police Department for 20 years, and previously in the Dane County Sherrif’s Department in Madison, WI.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who originally recommended Lubinski, said her “mix of experience managing a large, urban police department and working in a more rural sherriff’s office sets her apart and makes her uniquely qualified to serve in this new role.”
Lubinski, who must still be confirmed by the Senate, would become only the second currently active female U.S. Marshal in the country. The 94 U.S. Marshals protect federal court officials, buildings and witnesses in each of their respective districts.
