John,

As we approach the end of this Congress and prepare for the incoming administration, Chris asked us to share an important update on the work being done in the Senate.

Some might consider these months after the election to be the "lame-duck" period, but Chris and Senate Democrats know there’s nothing "lame" about preparing for the future. One of the best safeguards for our democracy has always been fairness and impartiality from our nation’s judges.

That’s why, under the Biden administration, Chris and his colleagues have confirmed more than 220 highly qualified federal judges to lifetime appointments on the bench and will surpass the total number of judges that Donald Trump confirmed. These judges are committed to upholding the law, safeguarding individual rights, and ensuring that every American gets a fair shake.

Senate Democrats are working overtime this December to fill as many remaining vacancies as possible with jurists who exemplify integrity and a deep respect for the rule of law. Every judge confirmed now helps create a judiciary that reflects the values of justice, fairness, and equality long after this administration ends.

This work couldn’t be more urgent as we head into a second Trump administration. Chris believes deeply in this mission, and if you share his commitment to protecting our democracy, we hope you’ll join us. Add your name today to stand with Chris and his Senate colleagues as they work tirelessly to strengthen our judiciary for the years ahead.
