Senate Judiciary Committee Advances Labor Lawyer Karla Campbell to Sixth Circuit Court

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday progressed the nomination of labor lawyer Karla Campbell to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, moving her one step closer to confirmation. Campbell’s nomination, reviewed rigorously in a June hearing, attracted considerable criticism from Republican senators who scrutinized her previous association with a workers’ rights group and a political donation of $1,500 she made to Odessa Kelly, a Democrat from Tennessee, during Kelly’s unsuccessful House campaign.
