“I am honored and humbled to have the support of Congresswoman Gwen Moore, a champion for our community,” said Danielle Shelton. “For decades, she has been a fierce advocate for justice and equality, and I’m grateful to have her trust. I’ve dedicated my career to protecting the rights of our community’s most vulnerable citizens, and I will continue to bring the same passion to the bench. Together, we will make our judicial system one that works for everyone, and treats everyone equally, rather than privileging the powerful. Thank you, Congresswoman Moore.”
