Question 3
Why are you running for this particular court seat?
If I receive your endorsement (vote for me please) I might be the only Judge on the First District Court of Appeals with any prior judicial trial experience. Because the First District must review the Criminal and Civil trial Appeals, this experience in most valuable.
I am very careful to impact people in my courtroom in a positive manner. I give every party their day in court. I acknowledge people's view and listen to their perspective.
