Question 1
List your judicial experience (courts and years)
No Judicial experience.
Question 2
What non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?
I've practiced law in front of the bench that I'm campaigning to join for over 25 years. I've seen the best and the worst. I've seen justice and injustice. I'm prepared to help reform The Bench from within.
Question 3
Why are you running for this particular court seat?
The Court needs to focus more of its attention on helping the people who come before it. There should be a desire to be apart of the solution. Today's victims far to often are tomorrow's Defendants. We need to be about serving the community not just passing out punishments.
