U.S. Senator Josh Hawley expressed approval following the Senate Judiciary Committee's decision to advance the nominations of four individuals selected by President Trump for district judge positions in Missouri.
"This morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent four outstanding Missourians—whom President Trump tapped as his first judicial nominees—to the Senate floor for a final vote. My state has waited four long years for these judges, and I look forward to them serving Missouri with the highest distinction. To Josh Divine, Maria Lanahan, Zachary Bluestone, and Cris Stevens—congratulations are in order," said Senator Hawley.
The nominees include Joshua M. Divine for the United States District Judge role in both Eastern and Western Districts of Missouri, Maria A. Lanahan for the Eastern District of Missouri, Zachary M. Bluestone also for the Eastern District of Missouri, and Cristian M. Stevens likewise nominated for the Eastern District of Missouri.
These judicial seats have remained vacant during President Biden's tenure. Senator Hawley collaborated with President Trump and his administration to ensure these appointments were prioritized.
