Top Priorities if Elected |
- Preserve Constitutional freedoms -- life, liberty, and property rights
- Punish violent crime -- those who abuse freedom to harm others
- Continue to treat everyone with dignity and respect
|
|
- Laying Down the Law: taking domestice violence seriously
-
The Law provides for the punishment of violent behavior. Some crimes don't merit a jail sentence, but Judges have to make it clear that violence will not be tolerated.
- Preserving Basic Freedoms is my constant priority
-
Our Bill of Rights are limitations on the power of government, and the courts are your last line of defense.
- Competence, fairness, and civility preserve the justice system
-
We have to maintain civility and respect in all court proceedings. No judge should ever be biassed or rude!!! Otherwise, citizens will feel excluded from the justice system.
