The nominees are: Maria A. Lanahan, to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri Cristian M. Stevens, to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri Joshua M. Divine, to be United States District Judge for the Eastern and Western Districts of Missouri Zachary M. Bluestone, to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri These individuals would fill judicial positions that have been vacant throughout the Biden Administration. Since the beginning of the year, Senator Hawley has worked closely with the Trump White House to ensure that appointments to Missouri vacancies are prioritized. Senator Hawley also had a memorable exchange on Title IX protections with Whitney D. Hermandorfer, nominated to be United States Circuit Judge for the Sixth Circuit. Senator Hawley highlighted her record of defending legislation to safeguard women’s sports and opportunities from men who identify as women. “I want to thank you for going to battle for our daughters, for going to battle for the women you played sports with, for standing up for this landmark legislation,”Senator Hawley said. “When it comes to the litigation that you carried out on behalf of Tennessee … I think you did a great service, not just to Tennessee but for the nation,” Senator Hawley added.
