Oppose Jennifer Rearden's nomination to the U.S. District Court for the SDNY!

I know that last week President Biden quietly renominated a Trump-selected federal judge, Jennifer Rearden, to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. I’m completely and utterly opposed to her confirmation, and I expect the Senator to vote NO. Rearden’s law firm represented the oil behemoth Chevron in its yearslong legal assault on environmental and human rights attorney Steven Donziger. This fact alone should be disqualifying. Her corporate clients have included Home Depot, Uber, Lehman Brothers, Barclays Capital, and Patriarch Partners. Rearden has long been a donor to Republican politicians in the tri-state area. She’s political, she’s venal, and she’s utterly tied to lobbyists and corporate money. Jamie Henn, director of Fossil Free Media, has called the president's renomination of her "atrocious." I am incredibly disappointed by the nomination of Jennifer Rearden, and I expect you to vote no. Thanks.
