Senator Collins Backs Neumann for Federal Court Seat in Maine

In a significant show of bipartisan support, Senator Susan Collins has openly endorsed Stacey Neumann’s nomination for the U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Maine. This pivotal nomination, announced by President Joe Biden, comes as the seat vacates following U.S. District Judge Jon Levy’s departure.

Stacey Neumann’s legal career, underscored by her roles in criminal defense and federal court litigation, has prepared her for the critical responsibilities of a district court judge. Her outstanding record has not only captured the attention of the President but has also earned commendations from Maine’s senators. Senator Collins, alongside Senator Angus King, has lauded Neumann for her breadth of legal knowledge and the essential qualities she possesses for the judiciary—a sentiment reflecting the high regard in which Neumann is held across political divides.

This nomination underscores the ongoing efforts to fill judiciary vacancies with candidates who possess a deep understanding of the law and a commitment to justice. Neumann’s background and bipartisan support highlight the importance of experience and character in such vital roles, promising a judiciary that faithfully upholds the principles of justice and equity.
