Dear John,
This week, the Senate started Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court. She is an exceptionally qualified judge. Her professional experience as a public defender and an appellate judge as well as her personal experience as a public school-educated Black woman make her exactly the nominee we need.
I know that we can count on her to make decisions with our best interests at heart. As a successful consensus builder, her voice is especially powerful in the current moment.
But none of this would have been possible without the wide coalition Democrats built in 2020 to deliver the majority in Congress and the White House. As her confirmation continues, I’m reminded of how important every election is, especially with Republican leaders who are willing to do anything possible to undermine our Democratic agenda.
In November, voters will have another chance to go to the polls, and I can’t overstate the importance of this election. If Mitch McConnel and Kevin McCarthy regain control of Congress, we can say goodbye to the progress we’ve made -- and to confirming qualified leaders to the bench. Will you chip in now so we can fight this from happening?
