VANCOUVER, Wash. — Washington’s two Democrat Senators are voicing their opposition to President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.
Senator Patty Murray said in a statement “based on everything I know about [Judge Kavanaugh], he is exactly what President Trump is looking for and would swing the balance of the Supreme Court for a generation against women, workers, patients, and families.”
Senator Maria Cantwell also released a statement saying, “I have grave concerns about this nomination and Judge Kavanaugh’s previous decisions on net neutrality and health care.”
Cantwell is currently aiming for reelection to another six year term in the U.S. Senate and will most likely be challenged by Republican Susan Hutchison this November.
