Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware Calls for New Age of Diversity on Chancery Court Amid President Biden’s Nominations

Following President Biden’s nomination of a diverse federal district and appeals court judges, Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware urge Governor Carney to follow suit with Andre Bouchard’s replacement.

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware (CPBD) called for a Black justice to be nominated to the Chancery Court following President Biden’s first round of historic judicial nominations in the federal courts, including the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

“President Biden’s promise to affirm vacancies with qualified candidates from diverse backgrounds is historic and long-overdue. We are asking Governor Carney to give Delaware the chance to be a part of that history,” said Chris Coffey, Campaign Manager for Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware. “Diversity on Delaware’s highest courts, starting with outgoing Chancellor Bouchard’s replacement, will lead to a more humane and trustworthy judiciary. Change is possible and it lies in the hands of Governor Carney and Chancellor Bouchard.”
