New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) made two historic nominations to the New Jersey State Supreme Court on Monday, continuing his push to diversify the judicial branch.
Bruce A. Harris is mayor of Chatham, N.J. and a lawyer with 20 years of experience. As an openly gay African-American man, he would become the third African-American to ever serve on the State Supreme Court and the first openly LGBT member.
Christie’s other nominee, Phillip H. Kwon, is the first assistant attorney general in the state Department of Law and Public Safety and former deputy chief of the U.S. attorney’s office criminal division. If approved, he would become the first Asian-American to serve on the court and the first immigrant to serve since the 1947 State Constitution created the court.
