From East Baltimore to the federal bench, Judge Andre Davis built a career rooted in one idea: the law is a tool for public service.

In this episode of Keepers of the Republic, Brooke sits down with the former Fourth Circuit judge to talk about civil rights, community impact, and what it really means to uphold the rule of law. They cover everything from his unexpected path to the bench, to leaving a lifetime appointment to work on police reform, to why he’s now speaking out alongside other judges to defend democratic norms.

Welcome back to Keepers of our Republic, a new weekly podcast from Keep Our Republic that takes listeners inside the institutions at the heart of American democracy. 

Every week, Keepers of Our Republic features thoughtful conversations with election administrators and retired federal judges. We explore how elections are really run, discuss why an independent judiciary is essential to a strong republic, and separate fact from fiction in a fast-changing world.
