Appeals judge in Palm Beach County elevated to South Florida’s federal bench

Ed Artau, a state appeals court judge in Palm Beach County, has been elevated to the federal bench in South Florida with a boost from the Republican majority in the U.S. Senate.

Artau, 59, the son of Cuban immigrants, was confirmed Monday in a 50-43 Senate vote along party lines.

In May, President Donald Trump nominated Artau to be a federal judge in the Southern District of Florida, praising his career as a state appellate judge, a prior circuit court judge and previously a general counsel to the South Florida Water Management District.
