CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI – Macomb County Republican Party Chairman Rob Montilla issued the following statement on the appointment of Judge David Viviano to the Michigan Supreme Court:

“Judge David Viviano has been a tremendous jurist in Macomb County and we are very proud that he was chosen by Governor Rick Snyder for the open seat on Michigan’s Supreme Court.  Judge Viviano is a strong Rule-of-Law justice and we are confident he will bring this quality to the state’s highest court.”

“The Michigan Supreme Court has developed a reputation as a court which decides cases based on the law and not by legislating from the bench.   Judge Viviano is the perfect fit for the court’s makeup and we are glad that someone whom every member of the Macomb County Republican Party respects will be serving the residents of Michigan in this honorable position.”

“From his run as Macomb County Prosecutor in 2004 to winning a seat on the Macomb County Circuit Court, Judge Viviano has a long history of dedicating himself to justice and community service in the county.  We look forward to supporting his efforts at sustaining a Rule-of-Law Michigan Supreme Court in order to keep justice fair and honest for all Michiganders.”
