The race for Department 22 is defined by a few key differences between my opponent and I. In addition to my commitment to removing politics from the bench, my opponent has said she believes that her role is to decide cases from an economic perspective as opposed to ruling on the merits of the people before her, irrespective of the economic or other considerations. The cases that come before our courts directly impact the lives of not only a defendant, but their family, and their community. Reducing those who come before our courts to little more than a dollar sign simply isn't right.
I believe I am the the non-partisan choice in this race and I have been endorsed by major organizations like Culinary 226, SEIU, our veterans and more. I'm ready to take the politics out of Department 22 and hope to earn your vote.
- You shouldn't have to worry about a judge's politics in our courtrooms.
- I am the non-partisan choice in this race.
- I am endorsed by our nurses, courtroom staff, working families, veterans and more.
