A new federal judge was confirmed in the Senate and will preside over cases in the United States District Court Western District of Louisiana on Thursday.
Senator Bill Cassidy announced his vote and the subsequent confirmation of President Joe Biden’s nominee, Jerry Edwards, Jr., an attorney from Shreveport. Brandon Long was also confirmed and will serve in the U.S. District Court Eastern District of Louisiana.
“I was glad to support both Mr. Edwards and Mr. Long. They each have the experience, qualifications, and knowledge of the law to rule fairly and consistently,” said Cassidy. “I wish them the best as they begin this new chapter dedicated to serving Louisiana and the country. ”
