Sens. Ossoff & Warnock recommended Victoria Calvert to President Biden<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calvert will become the second Black female judge for the Northern District of Georgia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington, D.C.<\/strong> \u2013\u2013 Tonight, the U.S. Senate confirmed one of U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock\u2019s historic nominees for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victoria Marie Calvert received bipartisan support and will become the second Black female judge for the Northern District of Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleased to announce the Senate has confirmed Victoria Calvert to serve as a Federal judge for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Senator Reverend Warnock and I recommended Ms. Calvert for this Federal judgeship, and I appreciate President Biden\u2019s confidence in our recommendation and the support of the Senate for her confirmation,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said.<\/strong> \u201cI wish Ms. Calvert and her family the best upon her confirmation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad that the U.S. Senate just confirmed Victoria Calvert to the Northern District of Georgia. She is a highly qualified jurist who has earned widespread respect across the state, and bipartisan support in the U.S. Senate. Her impressive professional experience, which includes serving as a federal public defender, brings much-needed diversity to the Northern District bench that will help ensure Georgians get the justice they deserve. I am proud to have supported her nomination and confirmation,\u201d Senator Reverend Warnock said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March of 2021, Sens. Ossoff and Warnock formed<\/a> a historic Federal Nominations Advisory Commission to review applicants for open Federal judicial, U.S. Attorney, and U.S. Marshall positions in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Biden accepted<\/a> Sen. Ossoff and Sen. Rev. Warnock\u2019s recommendations and nominated Calvert to serve on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calvert also received bipartisan support in the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
