Sullivan Announces Plan To Support Judge Brett Kavanaugh To Serve On U.S. Supreme Court

Press Release

U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) today offered his support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve as the next Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. The endorsement was made following an hour-long meeting between Sullivan and Kavanaugh, which highlighted a number of national and Alaska-focused legal issues.

"Today, I met with Judge Kavanaugh to discuss at length and great depth his nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court and his viewpoint on a variety of national and Alaska-focused legal issues. The meeting was extremely constructive and an important opportunity for Judge Kavanaugh to reaffirm what I've known about him for some time. He is someone who will interpret the law and Constitution as written, he holds a healthy skepticism regarding the expansive power of federal agencies, he is a strong protector of the Second Amendment, and he has the values, temperament and humility I believe Alaskans will value on the Supreme Court. I also took the opportunity to familiarize Judge Kavanaugh on a number of critical Alaska-focused federal laws, such as ANILCA, ANCSA and the new ANWR law. I think Judge Kavanaugh meets the qualifications we should be looking for and I plan on supporting him as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court."
