President Trump announced Tuesday he is nominating Neomi Rao to fill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s vacant seat on the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Rao currently serves as the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA).
She is a vocal advocate of Trump’s efforts to slash government regulations, crediting the reductions with stimulating job growth.
“I think the reform efforts are part of what has stimulated economic growth and job creation and promoted technological innovation. And from my perspective, our reform efforts have really focused on promoting the rule of law and emphasized the productivity and potential of the American people that’s possible when you get rid of unnecessary economic burdens,†Rao said at an American Bar Association conference earlier this month.
