California Rep. Jackie Speier (D) said she is nominating Christine Blasey Ford, the Palo Alto University college professor who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault while they were in high school, for the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.

“Nominating Dr. Christine Blasey Ford – a true American (s)hero who sacrificed so much to do what was right for our country and for the pursuit of truth of justice – for this year’s Profiles in Courage Award @JFKLibrary,” Speier announced in a tweet on Tuesday.

“She is an inspiration to us all,” Speier added.

The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award was created by members of the former president's family in 1989 “to recognize and celebrate the quality of political courage that he admired most,” according to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
