Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock, Georgia’s first Black Senator, met Wednesday with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the nation’s first Black woman nominated to the Supreme Court.
Senator Reverend Warnock said during Wednesday's meeting with the federal judge “I applaud the historic nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. It’s time the federal judiciary reflects the diversity of our country. Georgians want a nominee who is fair and qualified. I look forward to reviewing this nomination”

The meeting happened in Warnock's office during Judge Jackson's visit to Capitol Hill offices. According to his office, Warnock chatted briefly with Judge Jackson about the role of the Supreme Court and her qualifications, and expressed that he looks forward to continuing to review her nomination.
Senate confirmation hearings for Jackson are set for next week. If confirmed by the full Senate, she will be the first Black woman to ever sit on the nation's highest court.
