U.S. Senator Katie Britt Votes to Confirm Eddie LaCour as District Judge for Northern District of Alabama

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) today released the following statement after the Senate confirmed Edmund "Eddie" LaCour to be a district judge for the Northern District of Alabama by a vote of 51-47.

Senators Britt and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Eddie LaCour, and LaCour's family during a Senate Judiciary Committee nominations hearing on September 3, 2025.

"Today, the Senate confirmed Eddie LaCour to fill Alabama's third federal district court vacancy. Most recently, LaCour served our great state as Solicitor General, representing Alabama in a host of litigation in federal courts. He is admitted to practice before every circuit court of appeals in our nation, as well as the Supreme Court where he has filed more than 100 briefs and argued three cases. His legal acumen is unparalleled, and I have every confidence he will serve the Northern District exceptionally. I'm proud to see a fellow native of the Wiregrass serve Alabama and our country on the federal bench. I'm also grateful to have worked side-by-side with Senator Tuberville to see three exceptional nominees confirmed as federal judges and to President Trump for his support."
