“I don't want the fact that she had a personal relationship with me to deprive the commonwealth of a person who's most qualified for the position,” Healey told reporters outside her State House office Wednesday.
Gov. Maura Healey takes reporters' questions Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024 about the state budget, the migrant housing crisis, and her nomination of Gabrielle Wolohojian to the Supreme Judicial Court.
“I’m not going to get into how we engage with the judicial nominating committee,” Healey said. She said Wolohojian had the “unanimous and unqualified support of the entirety of the commission.” "For the SJC, which only has seven sitting members, what impact will that have on their work and their burden if there is a member who frequently has to recuse themselves?" she said.
Lon Povich served on Judicial Nominating Commissions under former governors Romney and Patrick and was legal counsel for former governor Charlie Baker. He said the judicial nominating process is rigorous and ensures that judges are qualified to serve.
