Small Business Group: Senate’s historic confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court applauded by small business owners

Statement by Small Business for America’s Future Co-Chair Shaundell Newsome on today’s bipartisan Senate confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court

Washington, D.C., April 7, 2022—“We are thrilled with the Senate’s bipartisan and historic confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court today and are confident she will be an excellent addition to the nation’s highest court. The Supreme Court regularly rules on issues that impact small business and Judge Jackson has the exceptional credentials, experience, character, and integrity needed to make decisions in the best interest of businesses and the country.

“This is welcome news to the small business community. In a recent survey conducted by Small Business for America’s Future, 69% of small business owners surveyed supported Judge Jackson’s confirmation as a Supreme Court justice and 61% said they trust her to make decisions in the best interest of small businesses and the country.

“We also commend Republican Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney for reaching across the aisle to confirm the first Black woman to our nation’s highest court.



“A strong economy and stable democracy hinge upon a just judicial system that represents the diversity and strength of our country. We are optimistic that Judge Jackson’s exemplary credentials and character will lead her to judge in the best interest of our Main Street entrepreneurs, which creates two-thirds of all new jobs and employs half of all workers.”
