“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation fills me with deep Miami-Dade pride. Judge Brown grew up and attended public schools right here in our community, and we know she will make an exceptional Supreme Court Justice.
“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. That is historical, in and of itself. But that her nomination was supported by a broad coalition representing every corner of our county is further cause for celebration. From the Fraternal Order of Police and International Association of Chiefs of Police to bi-partisan support in the Senate, to the majority of surveyed Americans, Judge Brown Jackson’s confirmation today makes history.
