Judicial Administration

“What do you want voters to consider when voting for your election?” What I would urge Republican voters to decide in this race is the question of how this Court should best move forward. I’m proud to have earned the support of Pet. 3 Constable Wayne Thompson who like me, believes that our quality of life, our legal codes, our judicial ethics, and the basic fairness of jurisprudence should be the foremost concerns of our Court. I pledge to use my legal experience to uphold these values for our community. And I hope that you will support me in these efforts.
