Trump names 5 Florida Judges to U.S. District Judge posts across the state (3 of them succeeding Obama appointees)

President Donald Trump has tapped five Florida Judges for spots on the federal bench. Ed Artau, Kyle Dudek, Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe, John Guard and Jordan Pratt will become U.S. District Court Judges presuming the Senate confirms their nominations.

Artau, a Judge for Florida’s 4th District Court of Appeal, was nominated for U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Artau to his current spot on the bench. Former Gov. Rick Scott previously appointed Artau as a Circuit Court Judge. Artau’s bio shows he was a founding member of the Federalist Society Miami Lawyers Chapter.

“Ed has a GREAT track record of restoring LAW AND ORDER and, most importantly, Common Sense (which is, sadly, rare these days!),” Trump posted on Truth Social. “I know Ed will do a GREAT job for the State of Florida, and our Nation.”

Dudek fills a spot on the federal bench in the Middle District of Florida. He was appointed in 2022 as a Magistrate Judge in the district, and before that was a Henderson Franklin shareholder.

“Kyle will uphold the Rule of Law in the Great State of Florida, where men do not play in Women’s Sports, Illegals Criminals are found and deported, and Tough on Crime Policies are championed,” Trump posted.

He seems to be distracted more with creating autocracy than appointing judges...
