Candidate for
Superior Court Judge; County of Orange; Office 22

I am seeking the judicial position being vacated by a great jurist and combat decorated Vietnam Navy pilot, Donald MacIntyre, who is retiring. I am extremely proud to be endorsed by Judge MacIntyre.

My reputation as a Deputy District Attorney has earned me the widespread support of law enforcement and community leaders, including Orange County Sheriff Michael Corona, the Honorable Marian Bergeson, police cheifs such as Santa Ana's highly regarded Paul Walters, noted homicide prosecutor Chris Kralick, the President of the Association of Orange County Attorneys, and numerous judges, police and crime victims. I am endorsed by COPS, "California Organization of Police and Sheriffs"with over 200,000 law enforcement personel statewide. These endorsements mean alot to me because they are from those who care about and know the needs of our legal system.

As a prosecutor, I have committed my best efforts to keeping our streets, schools and neighborhoods safe. I have prosecuted all types of criminals from vicious gang members to violent robbers and burglars. I support the current "Three Strikes" law and California's death penalty law. I believe strongly in our war against terrorism.

I grew up in Orange County. I have worked and worshiped and raised my family of three children here. These deep roots in this community mean that I have loyalty to this community.

I have a proven history of community service. I believe this type of involvement in the community is necessary to restore the ever declining confidence in our judicial system. Only by getting to know the judicial officers and seeing that they are the type of people the citizens can trust will the members of our community trust our judicial system.

I will not comment or attack any of the other candidates in this election at any time, either directly or indirectly.

I will be a firm, fair, ethical and commonsense judge.

If elected, I promise to use good judgment, and continue to devote myself to community service. I will apply the laws in a fair and thoughful manner. It is important that at judge follow the law, not create law as they personally believe it should be.

My goals as a judge will be to continue to work to promote ethics, civility and efficiency in the judicial system. I will conduct myself in the same manner during this election.

I am asking for your vote because of my abilities,ethics, integrity and civility.

I respectfully request your vote.
