Questions & Answers

1. Why are you running for Superior Court Judge?

I believe our community needs judges who will maintain the highest ethical standards and treat all litigants with respect. As a judge, I will maintain these standards and I will not be swayed by race, religion, or economic, or political pressure. I will base my decisions on the merits of each case and I will follow the law. I believe our judges should reflect the diversity of our community and should have life experiences that mirror those of the parties before them.

2. What are the personal qualities which best equip you to serve as a judge?

I have been the lead prosecutor in over a hundred serious felony trials. In every case, I have strived to be fair and to treat everyone, including the defendants, with respect. I am an intelligent, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and experienced criminal prosecutor, and I will bring these same qualities to the bench.
