Former Ohio Solicitor General Benjamin Flowers recently appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing to serve on the Cincinnati-based U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Nominated by President Donald Trump in April, Flowers faced scrutiny regarding past legal advocacy and questions about the 2020 election, according to Cleveland.com. Flowers is an attorney at Ashbrook Byrne Kresge Flowers in Cincinnati. He previously worked for Jones Day and Sidley Austin. If confirmed, he will fill the seat currently held by Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton, who plans to take senior status on Oct. 1.
