- Becoming a judge is a little different than some of the other elected positions in government. In the legislature, the official works for you and works to see your goals met in the community. A judge does not necessarily work in the same manner. As a judge, I will be tasked with ensuring the safety of the public, protecting people’s civil rights and rendering timely and fair decisions. What I can assure you is that if you were to come before me in court, you would experience timely, respectful and equal treatment as I consider your legal matters. All residents of Wayne County deserve a judge that will maintain a high level of integrity.
- I am running for judge because I believe that my past experiences have been preparing me and positioning me for another opportunity to serve my community in a larger way. As a former Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Wayne County and current Senior Associate Counsel for the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, my job duties have involved service to others. A judge should be someone who possesses integrity, is fair, compassionate, respectful, balanced and has the right temperament. I know that I possess those qualities and I use those qualities in my current and former positions. I want to expand and take that service to the next level by becoming your next Wayne County 3rd Circuit Court Judge.
- A judge is someone tasked with looking at the law, applying it fairly and blindly to the facts to ensure a just decision for people of all walks of life. A judge has the ability to impact the livelihoods of individuals each day. Similarly, as Senior Associate Counsel for the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, I have been tasked with making those decisions when I investigate attorney misconduct and must weigh the applicable law with the facts alleged and make recommendations as to whether an attorney should be disciplined, which could include suspension of their law license or disbarment.
