Gov. Brian Kemp said Tuesday he has appointed Gwinnett County Juvenile Court Judge Tadia Whitner to the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit Superior Court.

“After serving our country as a captain in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, Tadia Whitner brought invaluable leadership and legal expertise to her work as a prosecutor, private attorney, and judge for municipal and juvenile court,” Kemp said in a news release late Tuesday. “Now, I am honored to appoint her to the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit Superior Court where I am confident that she will govern her courtroom with the utmost integrity and impartiality.” After graduating from Howard University with a B.A. and a J.D., Whitner served as an attorney and earned the rank of captain in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard.
