“I want to congratulate Judge Delahanty on his confirmation. He comes to
this office with a wealth of experience—both as a judge and a former U.S.
Attorney. I’m grateful that this position has been filled and I’m
really looking forward to sitting with Judge Delahanty to hear about his plans for
the office and to share with him some of the feedback I’ve gotten from the
legal community here in Maine.”
