Biden Nominates Stephanie Dawkins Davis To 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals
As discussions surround a potential Supreme Court appointment, Black women should be elected to all types of offices, but the Biden administration has committed to diversity when it concerns the judicial branch. So far, the Biden administration has nominated 75 judges to federal courts – of the 40 confirmed judges, 80% are women, and 53% are people of color. This includes U.S. District Court Judge J. Michelle Childs, who is considered on the shortlist for Justice Stephen Breyer’s Supreme Court seat.
The Biden administration wants to continue that streak. According to The Detroit News, President Biden has nominated U.S. District Court Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis to serve on the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. If the U.S. Senate confirms Davis, she will become the second Black woman to serve on the 6th Circuit and the first from Michigan.
Davis, 55, is currently serving on the U.S. Courthouse in Flint. She was also the first Black woman President Trump nominated to the federal bench as president.
Former attorneys such as U.S. Attorney Barb McQuade have spoken to Davis’s qualifications.
