Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Congratulates Delaware's First African American Supreme Court Justice, Tamika Montgomery-Reeves, on Taking Her Oath of Office

WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Delaware Chancery Court Justice Tamika Montgomery-Reeves will be sworn in as a Justice on the Delaware Supreme Court. Her swearing in comes after several months of advocacy by over 5,000 of Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware's (CPBD) members who urged Governor Carney to nominate a person of color to the vacant seat. CPBD Campaign Manager Chris Coffey has released the following statement:

"This is a historic day for Delaware. Make no mistake about it, Justice Montgomery-Reeves' new role as a Delaware Supreme Court Justice is an incredible step forward for progress in a state that has lagged behind for far too long when it comes to matters of racial equity in its judicial system, propping up a status quo of an all-white boys club…”
