Incumbents decry interest group advertisement
In October, the five incumbents running for re-election to the 6th Circuit Court united to condemn an ad opposing Judge McMillen, which was run by the Virginia-based group Americans for Job Security. In a meeting, Judge Warren said,
| “ | We felt that it was very important that to maintain the integrity and independence of the judiciary that we unite together and stand against attempts to subvert our independence and integrity of the court, and try to politicize what should be a nonpartisan, non-political position.[3][4] | ” |
In a statement on her website, challenger Deborah Carley says,
| “ | Just as challengers to incumbents express their displeasure with the status quo, so too can citizens affect the process...It’s ironic that a slate of candidates, unified by incumbency and not by ideological or philosophical bonds, would whine about following the law as determined by judicial precedent passed by the highest court in the land [Citizen's United v. Federal Election Commission].[5][4] | ” |

Carley received her undergraduate degree from Albion College and her J.D. from Detroit College of Law.[6]
