Bangor, Maine – Governor Paul LePage administered the oath of office today to his first judicial appointment, Gregory Campbell of Hampden.   

“Judge Campbell will be a fine addition to the District Court,” said Governor LePage.  “He has served as a prosecutor at the county, state, and federal level.  That, coupled with his work in private practice, has equipped him with the experience he will need to serve Maine from the bench.  We will all benefit from his service.”  

The Governor commended the Judicial Selection Committee for its hard work screening and interviewing applicants for the bench. Josh Tardy, Chair of the Committee, attended the ceremony. Justices of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court and judges from the state’s lower courts were also present.

“We see the results of the Governor's work to create a judicial selection process that is attentive to the justice needs of Maine people, is taken very seriously, and is respected by those who most need the system,” said Chief Justice Leigh I. Saufley of the Supreme Judicial Court.  “We are very fortunate in Maine to have all three branches working together to assure that Maine people have access to justice."

Judge Campbell previously served as Assistant District Attorney for Penobscot and Piscataquis Counties starting in 1985.  He also served as Special Assistant United States Attorney and Assistant Attorney General. Campbell worked in the private sector for two years at Richardson, Troubh & Badger. He is a graduate of Bates College and the University of Maine School of Law.

Governor LePage expects to make his next judicial nomination in September for a Superior Court vacancy.
