  • I will work to ensure community investment across all sectors by working with businesses to ensure employment that will improve defendants access to opportunities and resources reducing recidivism by supporting successful reintegration .
  • I will enhance and improve alternatives to incarceration starting with specialty courts and ensuring all program participants leave with a high school diploma, trade, and/or skill upon release.
  • I am committed to courtroom that is respectful of victims, witnesses, defendants, and attorneys.
I am passionate around policies that work to solve for the issues within our criminal justice system that do not serve to provide justice or benefit the public as a whole. I am engaged in policy discussions and will work that ensure safe, fair, and equitable court proceedings through transparency and accountability, while also ensure attorney integrity.
