Senator Stabenow Statement on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Nomination to the United States Supreme Court

LANSING—Senator Debbie Stabenow released the following statement after President Biden’s announcement that he would nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court.

“Judge Jackson is an extraordinary nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court and the right choice for this historic moment in our country. From her clerkship at the Supreme Court, to her work as a public defender, to her distinguished service on the D.C. District Court and Circuit Court, Judge Jackson’s impressive background of public service makes her an outstanding nominee. Her experience will inform her work as a thoughtful judge with an understanding of the lives of the American people. Her history of standing up for justice, democracy, and equal rights for all Americans is exactly what our country needs right now.

“Both Republicans and Democrats have already voted for her for past judicial positions, which only affirms her qualifications, character, and integrity. I know Judge Jackson will be an excellent Supreme Court Justice. What an exciting time for our country.”
