Nomination of Matthew Kacsmaryk to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas

Jun. 19, 2019

he AFL-CIO urges you to oppose the nomination of Matthew Kacsmaryk to serve on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Our nation’s courts need appointees who are not biased and will treat all Americans fairly—including LGBTQ individuals and working women. Our review of Kacsmaryk’s record leads us to the conclusion that he does not possess that background. His nomination was confirmed on June 19, 2019.
