Who Appointed Michelle Childs? Is Judge Michelle Childs Married?

In 2010, President Obama nominated Michelle Childs for a seat on the federal trial bench.

The American Bar Association unanimously rated her “well qualified,” and she was confirmed on a voice vote. She has served in the position for 11 years.

Judge Childs is married to Dr. Floyd Angus, a gastroenterologist, and the couple has one daughter.

Childs previously served as a state circuit court judge based in Columbia, South Carolina.

She is a nominee to be a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Childs has served as a South Carolina state judge and on the federal bench. As of February 2022, she is a nominee to the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

In 2006, she was elected by the South Carolina General Assembly to become Richland County Circuit Court Judge based in Columbia.

During her time as a state judge, she helmed a special business court pilot program and became chief judge for General Sessions, South Carolina’s criminal court.

Childs has received criticism from The American Prospect for sentencing a non-violent man to prison for 12 years for selling eight ounces of marijuana while Childs was a circuit court judge.
