Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) charged his Judicial Advisory Commission (JAC) for the 117th Congress to begin accepting applications.
The JAC closely resembles Rubio’s bipartisan commission for the 116th Congress. Prior to that, Rubio partnered with then-Senator Bill Nelson for eight years on a similar bipartisan commission.
Former Lieutenant Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera serves as the JAC’s statewide chair. Leonard Collins chairs the Northern District JAC. Domingo Sanchez chairs the Middle District JAC. Manny Kadre chairs the Southern District JAC. All four served in the same capacity for Rubio’s commission in the 116th Congress and the Rubio-Nelson commission in the 115th Congress. A full list of members is available here.
Since 2017 the Senate has confirmed a dozen Florida district court judges recommended by Rubio, and those judges averaged nearly 70 votes in favor despite the deeply divided and partisan nature of the Senate.
