Questions & Answers

1. Why are you running for Superior Court Judge?

The public's needs are not met when a jurist is absent and unable to serve on the bench. I believe the role a Judge should play in making our society a better place is to work to promote fariness, integrity and professional excellence within the legal profession. In doing so we insure that all who seek legal redress are not harmed in the process. With more than 20 years of experience in law practice and as a trial lawyer, I know what it takes to fairly judge a case and to insure that the party litigants get their day in court. It's time for a change and I will make a difference!

2. What are the personal qualities which best equip you to serve as a judge?

A Judge must be fair, impartial, unbiased and have a blend of compassion, judicial responsiblity, community awareness and be dedicated to public service. This is what I bring to this office. A Judge must also be accountable to the public for statements and actions made while serving on the bench. When elected to the office of Superior Court Judge, I will continue to dedicate my efforts in the legal profession to public service, to providing access to the judicial system and insuring fairness in the administration of the law.
