Senate Confirms New District Judge from North Carolina

In a significant vote, the Senate confirmed David A. Bragdon as the United States District Judge for the Middle District of North Carolina. This decision followed a vote where 53 senators were in favor, and 45 were against.

The approval came primarily from Senate Republicans, who strongly supported Bragdon’s nomination. Despite the close result, the majority of Republican senators believed that Bragdon would be a good fit for this important judicial role.

Bragdon’s confirmation means that he will now oversee federal cases in that region of North Carolina. This position is crucial because district judges make important decisions that can impact many lives and issues within their communities.

The vote shows the Senate's ongoing efforts to fill judicial positions, reflecting the political dynamics at play. The support from Republicans indicates their commitment to appointing judges who align with their views and priorities.
