WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King released this statement following the President’s nomination of Maine Supreme Court Justice Jon Levy to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine.

“During his long and distinguished career as both an attorney and a judge, Jon has had a significant impact on the Maine judicial system by virtue of his intelligence and tireless service to the court,” said Senators Collins and King in a joint statement. “Jon’s qualifications and contributions to the Maine legal community make him an ideal candidate for this judgeship.  Jon’s nomination deserves bipartisan support, and we look forward to introducing him to our colleagues in the Senate as soon as possible.”
