Congressman John Carter (TX-31) released the following statement after President Trump announced Brett Kavanagh as the nominee for the vacancy left by Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court of the United States.  

“America is founded on the principles of justice and respect for the rule of law. The Supreme Court of the United States fulfills a critical check and balance in our democracy, and it is crucial for those entrusted with the duty of sitting on the bench to have an unwavering commitment to Constitution as written. Judge Kavanaugh’s record indicates a respect for our founding principles and a dedication to uphold the supreme law of the land, the U.S. Constitution. Congratulations, Judge Brett Kavanaugh.”

Rep. Carter represents Texas District 31, which includes Fort Hood, the largest active duty armored military installation in the free world. He serves as co-chairman of the Congressional Army Caucus and Chairman of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Appropriations.
