I am honored to nominate Maria Lanahan to serve as Judge on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Maria is a true Patriot, who currently serves as the Principal Deputy Solicitor General in Missouri, handling many High Stakes Cases. Maria has degrees from Gonzaga (where, I am told, she was also an incredible Athlete!), and the University of Chicago, one of the best Law Schools in the World. Maria is a very Smart and Talented Lawyer, and will do GREAT work in this new role. Congratulations Maria!
