October 26, 2020

Washington, D.C. – Today, the United States Senate confirmed Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump's nomination to the Supreme Court. The vote passed 52 to 48 with the support of Senator Gardner. This is the third Supreme Court Justice confirmed in President Trump's first term.

Congressman Doug Lamborn issued the following statement:

"I am grateful that the Senate confirmed President Trump's extremely qualified nominee. It is fitting and proper that President Trump and the Senate fulfilled the constitutional duty for which they were elected by filling this important vacancy. Judge Barrett has an impressive record on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and will serve honorably as our newest Supreme Court Justice. I look forward to her serving on the court for many years to come. I want to thank Senator Gardner for his principled stance and for voting to support a Justice that will uphold the constitution and rule of law."
