Neuman had been a critic of former Governor Tom Corbett's handling of the Penn State child sex abuse scandal.[4] Along with fellow Representative Tony DeLuca, Neuman had introduced legislation to combat healthcare waste and fraud.[5]

In 2025, Neuman was elected as a judge to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania[9], filling a seat which had been left vacant by the ascendance of Daniel McCaffery to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. He is the first Millennial to be elected to a seat on one of Pennsylvania's appellate courts.
