Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a federal and state criminal defense attorney and a former prosecutor who has tried dozens of cases to verdict, including murder and have handled thousands of cases, including capital murder. I am also a crime victim survivor and I am looking forward to bringing all of my personal and professional experiences to the bench as the next judge of the 282nd Judicial District Court.

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?

• I am running to restore integrity, decorum and justice.
• Defendants deserve fairness and victims deserve compassion. Those two truths are not mutually exclusive.
• Everyone that comes before my court will be treated with kindness, compassion and respect, regardless of their background and regardless on how I rule on their case.
