Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an ASU law school graduate and former Maricopa County Prosecutor. I’m seeking the office of East Mesa Justice of the Peace because our community deserves a knowledgeable, qualified judge who will follow the law and apply it fairly. I am the only candidate running for this judge position who has been to law school or is a practicing attorney. These qualifications matter given the immense amount of responsibility being a judge has. I am excited to serve my neighbors in East Mesa!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Qualifications matter: I am the only candidate running for this judge position who has been to law school.
• I will be fair and balanced as a judge because I have been both a prosecutor and a defense attorney.
• I have a history of serving this community as a prosecutor and look forward to continuing that service as East Mesa’s next justice of the peace

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As hopefully East Mesa’s next Justice of the Peace, I am most concerned about following the law that is in place and doing so in a fair and balanced manner and not legislating from the bench.
