Previously, I worked as a prosecutor with the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office, dedicating much of my time fighting for the victims of domestic violence in both misdemeanor and felony courts. I currently work as a defense attorney at the Law Office of Kyle Whitaker. My commitment to domestic violence cases is the reason I am running for County Criminal Court Six, which will soon be Tarrant County’s second dedicated family violence court. I am a member of the First United Methodist Church of Mansfield and recently became an empty nester, having just sent my daughter off to college. I look forward to serving the citizens of Tarrant County as the next judge of County Criminal Court Six.
- First and foremost, voters should know that I will enforce the law as it is written. Given the climate of our political arena, I have found some people misunderstand a judge’s role. A courtroom is no place for personal biases or agendas. The time and place for advocating or protesting a cause or law is in the voting booth or through personal activism, regardless of your political party or beliefs. A judge can personally disagree with a law, but to disregard their duty to enforce the laws that citizens, by way of voting and legislation, have enacted creates courts of inconsistency and unfair treatment.
- Secondly, all citizens who come before me should expect to be treated with respect, whether they are a victim, defendant, witness or attorney. The courtroom is a place for enforcing the law to keep our communities safe and for seeking justice, but justice is not the absence of civility or compassion.
- Finally, beginning November 1st, CCC6 begins transitioning from a misdemeanor court that hears all misdemeanors to a dedicated family violence court. Solely handling family violence cases presents challenges for all parties that handling a mix of DWIs, thefts, and low-level drug offenses does not. I plan to prioritize reducing the docket size of Criminal Court Six and create a new case management plan to address that change in caseload.
