As Gov. Nathan Deal’s Judicial Nominating Commission prepares to nominate candidates for several seats on Georgia’s appellate courts, I write in strong support of Gov. Deal’s record on judicial diversity.
Gov. Deal has chosen an outstanding judge in each and every one of his appointments, and I repudiate any suggestion that he has wrongly passed over diverse nominees. As a member of the commission, I am especially proud to have participated in the nominations of each of his eight appointees to our appellate courts, including Judge Carla Wong McMillian, the first Asian-Pacific American state appellate judge ever to be appointed in the Southeast, Judge Elizabeth L. Branch, and Judge Amanda H. Mercier. And I am confident that the process Gov. Deal has established for his upcoming appointments will produce similarly outstanding jurists of which all Georgians can be proud.
