Andi Mudryk will be the state's second openly trans judge and the first to reach the bench by a governor's appointment.
One of California’s eight newest judges is the first openly transgender person to be appointed to the bench in the Golden State, officials said.
“I’m humbled, honored and I’m thrilled,” Mudryk told The Times on Friday. “I’m grateful to Gov. Newsom for creating a vision of California for all.”Advertisement Mudryk said her experiences as a transgender woman, a person with a significant disability, the parent of an adult Black man, and the descendant of Jewish Holocaust survivors spurred a legal career spent advocating for the civil rights of all people.
Mudryk said she is proud to be transgender, having transitioned in the last four years, and has been accepted and promoted as part of Newsom’s administration.
