Austin Huffaker, Jr., to serve as the U.S. District Judge for the Middle District of Alabama. Mr. Huffaker's nomination was confirmed by a vote of 89-4. Senator Jones released the following statement upon Mr. Huffaker's confirmation by the full Senate today: Throughout his confirmation process, I have been proud to support Montgomery's Austin Huffaker for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. In July, I joined my colleague Senator Shelby to recommend Mr. Huffaker's favorable consideration in the Senate Judiciary Committee and today I cast my vote in favor of his confirmation by the full Senate. Mr. Huffaker has an excellent reputation within the legal profession for his fairness, temperament and thoughtfulness. I believe he will serve with the utmost integrity on the bench and will represent Alabama with distinction. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
