The Snohomish County community is my family, and I know this area like the back of my hand. I understand the issues you're facing all too well, as business owners, and as working families. With over 25 years of experience as a business owner, I understand the complex legal issues facing many in our community. Law is my third career! I previously owned a construction company and a mortgage brokerage. As a judge pro tem, I understand the inter-workings of a courtroom and the rules of evidence. I apply those skills while presiding over cases, to ensure the laws, statutes, and Constitution are applied fairly and impartially, without bias. I strive to be a hard-working judicial officer committed to the law, accessible and transparent. I firmly believe that everyone must have access to justice, and I know that together we can re-imagine a justice system that works for all.
Oh, by the way, did you know?
Judicial races in Washington are non-partisan by design.
Judge's Judicial Canon 1. “A Judge shall uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety.”
You the people hold all the power to elect your judges to ensure they will uphold the Constitution, enforce laws, and serve as neutral decision-makers regardless of race, gender expression, religion, nationality, or sexual orientation.
Throughout this race, I have enjoyed attending events held by both parties, listening to differing perspectives, and speaking on my vision for the court and how to move the judiciary to become more transparent for the people of Snohomish County.
I am honored to have bipartisan support. I promise to serve as your next judicial officer with integrity, honesty, and impartiality. Thank you for your vote!
With gratitude,
