Michigan Supreme Court Justice Kyra Harris Bolden, youngest justice in court’s history

Michigan Supreme Court Justice Kyra Harris Bolden secured a victory in the election on Nov. 5 to retain her seat on the state’s highest court. Bolden, who was appointed to the court in 2023 by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to fill the vacancy left by retiring Justice Bridget Mary McCormack, defeated Branch County Circuit Judge Patrick William O’Grady with 61% of the vote. Throughout her campaign, Bolden focused on improving equity within Michigan’s justice system. Host Stephen Henderson speaks with Bolden about her election victory, her goals and addressing systemic barriers for African Americans and women who want to serve on the court.
