This information is provided by the candidate

As a judge, I have presided over hundreds of trials and hearings and am known for my fair and decisive rulings, vast knowledge of the law and respect for the people appearing in my courtroom.

I am committed to preserving my record of impartiality, and ensuring that the courtroom is a place of justice. Other judges, prosecuting attorneys, defense attorneys, law enforcement, members of the legal community, and elected officials have praised me for my ability to preside over the courtroom in a firm and fair manner. They know my experience, understanding of the law, and character guarantee that my courtroom is a place where justice will prevail.

I am also committed to maintaining the faith of the public in the fairness and effectiveness of the judicial system. I am proud to have an unblemished record of treating everyone in my courtroom with dignity and respect.
