The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved four nominees to serve as judges for the Eastern District of Missouri. U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) issued a statement expressing support for the committee’s decision and commending President Trump for his focus on federal judicial appointments.
“I am proud to see the Senate Judiciary Committee approve President Trump’s highly qualified nominees to serve the Eastern District of Missouri, and I look forward to seeing them swiftly confirmed by the whole Senate. All four nominees worked for me in the Missouri Attorney General’s office and together we fought each day for Missourians across our state. Thank you to President Trump for prioritizing these proven nominees that will serve the Show Me State with distinction for years to come,” said Senator Eric Schmitt.
The nominees are Hon. Cristian Stevens, Hon. Maria Lanahan, Hon. Zachary Bluestone, and Hon. Joshua Divine, who is also nominated to serve in the Western District of Missouri.
Senator Schmitt noted his involvement with President Trump and the White House in advancing judicial appointments from Missouri early in the process.
