The United States Senate voted to confirm Judge Cristal Brisco and Judge Gretchen Lund to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana.

Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) announced his support for Judge Brisco and Judge Lund in November and introduced the judges at their confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in December.

“Judge Brisco and Judge Lund are experienced, qualified jurists who have served honorably in state superior courts,” said Senator Young. “They will be missed locally, but I trust they will bring the same sense of professionalism to the federal bench. I am proud to have helped shepherd their nominations through the Senate and look forward to their service.”

The Northern District of Indiana covers the Fort Wayne, Hammond, South Bend, and Lafayette regions.
