Despite the partisan tilt to the vote, both sides agreed her legal credentials are impeccable. Her eminent qualifications and wise committee testimony; her inspirational story of rising from a childhood in the Bronx projects to the highest levels of the nation’s legal corridors has illustrated that with preparation, dedication and hard work anything is possible! The American dream is indeed alive and well.

Over the years, it has become increasingly important for our courts to reflect the growing Latino presence in this country. We thank President Obama and the members of the U.S. Senate for their leadership in selecting a highly qualified and dedicated public servant to serve our country. This historic confirmation reflects the genuine commitment of our leaders to promote the legitimacy of the judicial system and secure our community’s trust and confidence in the courts.

It is with great pride and admiration that we celebrate this historic moment; that we celebrate a champion of ideals to which we all can aspire, namely a strong work ethic and a commitment to public service. The HCCW has every confidence that Justice Sotomayor will serve with effectiveness and distinction and continue to make us proud.

BRAVO! Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Adelante Juntos,

Maria Monreal-Cameron
President and CEO
