Nomination of Stephanie Dawkins Davis
Ms. STABENOW. Mr. President, I rise today in strong support of Judge Stephanie Davis, who is nominated to serve on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Judge Davis has spent her entire career in Michigan, and we are better for it. Judge Davis began work in the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Michigan in 1997. During her time there, she served in the office's civil and criminal divisions. She prosecuted fraud, bank robbery, embezzlement, violent crime, public corruption, and criminal conspiracies involving drug trafficking, as well as money laundering. She oversaw community and law enforcement initiatives and led the office's diversity efforts.
In 2016, Judge Davis became a magistrate judge for the U.S. District for the Eastern District of Michigan.
In 2019, with the strong support of both Senator Peters and myself, Judge Davis was nominated by President Trump to serve as U.S. district judge for the Eastern District of Michigan. Her confirmation was bipartisan, and so was her support in committee for this Sixth Circuit nomination.
Judge Davis has done an outstanding job every place she has been serving the people of Michigan, and I have no doubt that she will continue her strong record of public service on the U.S. court of appeals.
I have had the opportunity to get to know Judge Davis, and it has really been a joy. She is not just an extremely accomplished jurist, she is also a wonderful person, and those qualities, no doubt, are needed more than ever these days. So it is with great confidence that I urge my colleagues to support this wonderful nomination.
Mr. President, I would now ask unanimous consent that the Senate recess until 2:15 as is part of the schedule.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Ms. STABENOW. I yield the floor.
