Harrisburg, Pa. − February 4, 2025 − Senator Lindsey M. Williams issued this statement today following the Senate confirmation of Alyssa Cowan, Esquire:
“I want to congratulate Alyssa Cowan, Esq., on her confirmation by the full Senate as a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County. Ms. Cowan handled pointed questioning by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee with grace and ultimately received bipartisan support without compromising her values.
Ms. Cowan has devoted her career to protecting children, ensuring their well-being, and advocating for them during their most vulnerable moments, giving them a voice in the legal system. I can think of no better qualities in a judge—someone who is compassionate, fair, impartial, and deeply aware of the impact a judge’s decisions can have on people’s lives. She will make an excellent addition to the bench here in Allegheny County.
In addition to Alyssa Cowan, the Senate confirmed Simquita Bridges, Esq., an exceptionally qualified and compassionate addition to the Allegheny County bench.”
