This information is provided by the candidate
I seek election to the open seat on the Ohio Supreme Court, eager to serve all Ohioans with strong legal credentials, well-rounded life experiences, strong work ethic, maturity, common sense and proven ability to remain independent and open minded about issues brought before the Court.As a Judge with more than 9,500 resolved cases, as a practicing attorney handling civil and criminal cases at the trial and appellate level, as a former law clerk in United States District Court, as an arbitrator and mediator, I know the work of the Courts and how it affects everyday citizens. I extensively lecture in schools, at legal seminars, to civic organizations and to Judges, and remain committed to finding ways to make the Courts work better for everyone and to maintaining a level playing field for all.With a unique perspective from the private and public sector, I bring years of work experience in retail business, in ownership and operation of my own business venture and in work as a budget analyst for the County Auditor. I keenly understand the issues facing working families, business owners and government as they balance the need for stability and infrastructure with limited resources.
