Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am running for Riverside County Superior Court Judge to ensure we protect our community and provide justice within our county. I am the only candidate that lives in Riverside County.

Demonstrating my impartial approach to advancing justice, I have earned the support of Presiding Justice John Monterosso, who supervises all judges within Riverside Superior Court and would be my supervisor, Presiding Justice Manuel A. Ramirez, who supervises all judges for the 4th District Court of Appeals Division 2 (which includes Riverside County), District Attorney Mike Hestrin and Public Defender Steve Harmon.

For 17 years, I served as Deputy District Attorney, successfully prosecuting some of society’s worst criminals, including perpetrators of sexual assault, child abuse, homicide, gang violence, and domestic violence. I have never forgotten the victims impacted by these serious crimes and the lessons they taught me.

Riverside deserves an experienced and informed Judge who lives here and understands our community. Riverside County is where I am raising my family, and I am committed to holding violent criminals accountable, protecting victims, and rehabilitating nonviolent offenders. I would be honored to earn your vote to continue delivering justice in our county.
