Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a lifelong Texas, a proud Conservative Republican, and a respected family law attorney with more than two decades of experience protecting children and families. I believe in judicial restraint, respect for the Constitution, and applying the law as written guided by decades of real courtroom experience.

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?

• Experience matters in Family Court. I am the only candidate board certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I am the only candidate that practices exclusively family law. I am the only candidate that is qualified to accept and actively handles CPS cases representing parents and children.
• A conservative candidate that Texas Families can trust. Tarrant county families deserve to have a Judge that has studied the law, knows the law and will apply the law as written. A Judge's role is not to advocate or legislate from the bench.
• Putting families first in the 324th. Every parent and person involved in the family court system should be treated with empathy and respect. Ensuring effective and efficient resolution to family cases is imperative to prevent further hardship and uncertainty for the families the Court serves.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about the Tarrant County Family Recovery Court. This is an enhanced court program that assists families addressing issues of substance abuse and CPS involvement and has helped break the cycle of addiction. The current drug epidemic has shattered so many families. This program has shown that recovery and reunification is possible; an outcome which allows children to grow in a safe, stable and loving home.
