John --
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has made history by becoming the first Black woman confirmed to the United States Supreme Court. I was proud to vote in favor of her confirmation.
In the past few weeks I’ve had the privilege to meet with Justice Jackson personally, as well as take part in her historic confirmation hearings as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee -- all of which confirmed for me how qualified Justice Jackson is for her seat on the Supreme Court.
Justice Jackson has nine years of judicial experience, from her service as a public defender to the U.S. Court of Appeals, and has received the highest possible rating from the American Bar Association. But just as importantly, she's someone who understands the real world impact of court decisions.
She understands that those words on the page aren’t just words -- those words on the page can change people's lives. Whether they can get health care, what their options are. If they can have clean water and air. Even if they're going to be able to vote, when they're going to be able to vote and how they're going to be able to vote.
As a judge, a working mom, a child of teachers, a former public defender and a deeply committed public servant, Justice Jackson’s story is a quintessential American one -- and as she put it, her success is “a testament to the hope and promise of this country."
Justice Jackson's confirmation comes at a moment when we are seeing clearly that democracy can’t be taken for granted. And what happens in the Senate plays a vital role in protecting our democracy -- not only in ensuring that fair, even-handed people like Justice Jackson are confirmed to our Supreme Court, but also in fighting for progress through policy and legislation. If you’re able, please chip in today to help me keep doing this incredibly important work in the United States Senate.
