BREAKING: 12-0 Judge Barrett Advances Out of the Senate Judiciary Committee

TODAY, I voted in support of advancing Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to be the next Supreme Court Associate Justice out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now, her nomination will go before the full Senate for a final vote. 

Throughout her legal and academic career, and again during her confirmation hearings last week, Judge Barrett has demonstrated she has the character and disposition Iowans, and all Americans, are looking for in a Supreme Court Justice. 

Despite the Left’s best attempts to project their views on Judge Barrett and attack her faith and family, she made a clear case that she would be a thoughtful, restrained and wise Supreme Court justice who would defend the Constitution.

What the Democrats did today was simply fail to show up to work. Hardworking Iowans go to work every day, and that’s what they expect of their senators, which is why I showed up and proudly supported Judge Barrett’s nomination.

I’m grateful for Judge Barrett’s willingness to serve our country on the Supreme Court. As a working mom of seven, she’s an inspiration to young women across the country, and a terrific choice to sit on our nation’s highest court.
