| Collapse all
- Accountability. Caseloads in Spokane Superior Court are increasing, leading to delays in justice. This isn’t fair to victims, the accused, or our community. We, the taxpayers, bear the additional costs associated with delayed trials and extended deadlines. As your next judge, I will be decisive, deliver swift decisions grounded in law, and take action to reduce the caseload burden, creating a more efficient system. There is no place for excuses that slow down justice.
- Community. I began my legal practice in Spokane County, where I raised my five boys. For 20 years, I’ve tried cases in our courts and served our community. As a seasoned trial attorney focused in complex litigation, I bring solid legal experience to the bench. As a law firm owner, I understand the need for efficient court management and leadership. I’m committed to advocating for our community with both experience and dedication.
- Efficiency. I want to focus on improving court efficiency by streamlining processes, ensuring cases are resolved on time, and eliminating unnecessary delays. By talking these actions we can potentially provide timely justice and restore public confidence in the judicial system.
2. Experience. As laid out earlier, my years as a trial lawyer have given me experience in our courts. As a private practice lawyer for over 19 years, I have been forced find ways to cut through unnecessary delays and find ways to deal with the inefficiencies. I have seen how it hurts people that I care about. I will use my experience to eliminate inefficiencies and delays and better serve our citizens.3. Empathy. Judges have a job to do in making hard decisions, and that means often doing the correct thing even during a painful story. The judge should be understanding and respectful of every person in their courtroom, which means understanding their stories. I have taken hundreds of people through the litigation process, and I am aware of the hardship it places on people. I will not forget this as a judge. Every person deserves respect, and security that they will be heard and that their case will be considered fairly.
Everyone who comes in front of the superior court is there about their rights. This could be an accused criminal who may lose their liberty, or the injured victim needing justice. This may be parents who want to direct the education of their children. A small business may need to enforce its rights, so that its employees have jobs; or people who have lost health or property needing restitution to be restored. There are a variety of rights and their first place of being addressed is generally in our superior courts.
