Luke McCloud, an African-American, worked for Kavanaugh as a law clerk. He said, “In my experience with him, he’s someone who approaches cases fairly and with an open mind.”
McCloud also said Kavanaugh made an effort to recruit and mentor lawyers of minority races. He further noted that Kavanaugh “acknowledges the history and current reality of race in this country and takes it into account as he can within the confines of his role as a judge.”
