I am asking for your vote and support to continue to serve as Judge of the 416th Judicial District Court.
Since taking the bench on January 1, 2017, I have used my legal expertise, business knowledge, and civic and volunteering experience to provide:
- Ethical leadership to maintain public confidence in the office.
- Effective leadership to provide high quality services.
- Fiscal leadership that is respectful of taxpayer’s dollars.
In my first year on the bench, I was able to dispose of more cases than I was assigned, eliminating a critical backlog that was accumulating, and reducing the time to justice for our citizens. In my second year on the bench, I began a drug court; a problem-solving court that uses a specialized model and takes a team approach to help addicted offenders maintain long-term success. The 416th Court handles a combination of family, civil and felony criminal cases. My experience focusing on these complex problems and finding solutions that preserve not just families, but protect our community is a critical experience that serves our citizens well.
It has been my honor to serve as Judge of the 416th Judicial District Court and I humbly ask for your vote on November 5, 2024.
