U.S. Sen. Susan Collins (R) expressed support Tuesday for Stacey Neumann’s nomination to serve as a U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Maine.
The Senate will eventually be responsible for voting on whether or not Neumann should be confirmed for the position.
Neumann was selected by President Joe Biden (D) to fill the seat left vacant U.S. District Judge Jon Levy after he announced his retirement this past spring.
Judge Levy was first appointed to the position in 2014 after spending more than a decade on the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.
Prior to his retirement, Levy oversaw some relatively high-profile cases, including a Maine mom’s lawsuit against a Damariscotta school for allegedly hiding her 13-year-old child’s gender transition.
Levy was also involved with a former University of Southern Maine professor’s lawsuit against the school for allegedly violating her First Amendment rights.
Neumann has served as a litigator at Portland’s Murray, Plumb & Murray since 2013, where she focused on criminal defense, administrative, and civil litigation in state and federal courts and agencies.
Prior to this this, Neumann worked in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maine as an Assistant U.S. Attorney representing the federal government in a variety of criminal proceeding.
She attended James Madison University for her undergraduate education before graduating from Cornell Law School in 2005.
“I will support confirmation of Stacey Neumann to serve as a U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Maine based on her extensive legal experience, including as a prosecutor, her in-depth interview with me, and her hearing and background investigation by the Senate Judiciary Committee,” said Collins.
“I have concluded that she possesses the integrity, intellect, and impartiality to serve in this critical position,” Collins wrote.

According to the Portland Press Herald, Sen. Angus King (I) has also expressed support for Neumann’s nomination, praising her for having a “breadth of experience that you rarely see in a judicial candidate.”
another rubber stamp by our senatorial bumpkins. just proves there is a uniparty.
Another left-wing looney, I’m sure. I thought McConnell was going to block all of Biden’s nominations.
Susie loves these people, she voted for all Biden’s picks, Myorkas, etc.
Isn’t it interesting how ELECTED officials who allegedly represent US, always do what THEY want rather than what WE want ? In any regular job they would be fired immediately. Why is it WE have no mechanism to remove THEM immediately ?? This has to change, and right up to the “governor’s” office. These traitors need to be reminded WHO they work for.
Susie, Pingree, King, Golden, all interchangeable. Put one in place of the other and you wouldn’t even notice other than appearance. Pretty much!
I’m praying that Collins does not run again, if she does, I’ll be forced to vote for a democrat for the first time in my life! If I vote for a democrat, at least I know what I’m getting!
