The Vote

One of the busiest federal districts in the country will soon have a new judge. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) voted on June 24 to confirm John George Edward Marck as judge to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Marck is known for his position as former Assistant District Attorney in New York City, and as a prosecutor of cases involving illegal reentry after deportation and cartel-related crimes. The Senate confirmation vote fell almost entirely along party lines, and the nomination passed.

  • Republicans: 52 Yes, 0 No, 1 not voting
  • Democrats: 0 Yes, 43 No, 2 not voting
  • Independents: 0 Yes, 2 No

Budd voted yes, in line with his party. He has represented North Carolina in the Senate since 2023, and has missed 23 votes this Congress. He has missed zero votes since April.
