\"\"<\/a>Sen. Heitkamp Statement on Humetewa Confirmation<\/p>\n

U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp today issued the following statement after the Senate voted unanimously to confirm Diane J. Humetewa to be United States District Judge for the District of Arizona.<\/p>\n

Humetewa is the first Native American woman to serve as a federal judge, and the third Native American ever to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe confirmation of Ms. Humetewa to serve on the federal bench is historic,\u201d said Heitkamp. \u201cAs the first Native American woman to serve as a federal judge, I have no doubt that she will hold the court to the highest standards, as she has done throughout her career. Her vast and diverse experience shows that she is more than qualified for this position \u2013 from her work as a prosecutor and appellate court judge to her tribe, the Hopi Nation in Arizona, to her advocacy for victims\u2019 rights to her work in academia. She\u2019s an inspiration to Native American families across North Dakota and the country, and I hope that other young Native Americans strive to give back to their communities and stand up for others in the way that Ms. Humetewa has. It\u2019s long overdue that Native Americans are better represented on the federal bench, and today\u2019s vote is an important step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congrats Diane!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
