A good Justice of the Peace is trusted, rooted in the community, and understands the experiences of everyday neighbors. I became an attorney later in life—first gaining the perspective of living and working like everyone else, then adding legal training and experience to complement it.
That combination and balance makes me uniquely qualified to create a courtroom that’s clear, approachable, and easy for our community to navigate.
This calling is one I already practice in the courtroom—engaging with people in a down-to-earth way, making the law clear and understandable, and fostering productive conversations that lead to fair and just outcomes.

I will listen to every party attentively, consider all evidence without prejudice, and apply the law without favoritism
I will treat every person in the courtroom with courtesy and respect. My decisions will be grounded in the facts and the law, not personal opinions or political influences.

An impartial and independent judiciary is central to our republican form of government. A judge is prohibited from exercising power given to the legislature.
I will consistently apply the law to the unique facts of each case to ensure a just decision.

Parties deserve a timely resolution to their court case.
I will lead my team to dramatically improve the court’s procedures and operations so that every case moves swiftly toward resolution--saving time and reducing the burden and cost of litigation.
