Yesterday May 2, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) released the following statement praising President Trump’s nomination of Whitney Hermandorfer to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit:

“I am so pleased that President Trump has nominated Whitney Hermandorfer to fill the vacancy on the Sixth Circuit. Whitney’s legal career has been nothing short of outstanding, and she is a rising star in Tennessee. Her experience makes her eminently qualified to serve on the Sixth Circuit – clerking for Supreme Court Justice Alito and others before joining the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office as Director of Strategic Litigation. Throughout Whitney’s esteemed career, she has demonstrated that she will be a fair-minded, principled jurist who will apply our nation’s laws as they are written and protect the constitutional rights of all Americans. The President could not have selected a better individual to be his first judicial nomination this term, and I look forward to swiftly advancing Whitney’s nomination through the Senate Judiciary Committee and onto the Senate floor to get her confirmed.”

United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) applauded the nomination of Whitney Hermandorfer, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

“I am delighted that President Donald Trump has nominated Whitney Hermandorfer, a native Tennessean, to serve as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit,” said Senator Hagerty.“Few can boast equal credentials, having clerked for Justices Alito and Barrett, as well as then-Judge Kavanaugh. Whitney graduated top of her law school class at the George Washington University Law School. She also led the Strategic Litigation Unit for the Tennessee Attorney General. Whitney is principled, genuine, kind, and has a brilliant legal mind that will make all Tennesseans proud.  I will work tirelessly to ensure that Whitney is confirmed by the Senate.”
