statement likely AI As a longtime attorney, District Court Judge Pro Tem, and
Superior Court Commissioner, I have dedicated my career to serving our
community with fairness, professionalism, and respect.
District Court is often where people first encounter the
justice system. The court handles criminal, civil, infraction, and protection
order cases that directly impact individuals, families, and public safety
throughout Clallam County. Every person who enters the courtroom deserves to be
treated with dignity and heard fairly.
I have served as a District Court Judge Pro Tem since 2016
and as a Superior Court Commissioner since 2019. Alongside my judicial service,
I have practiced as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, providing broad
experience and perspective within our legal system.
I am committed to maintaining a courtroom that is fair,
respectful, efficient, and accessible to all members of our community. Clallam
County deserves a judge who is experienced, even-tempered, and ready to serve
on day one. I would be honored to earn your vote.

statement appears human Our quality of life is at risk in both Port Angeles and Sequim, with shuttered businesses, increasing drug use and a rise in quality of life crimes.
Clallam County District Court 1 needs a new, more effective direction.
All residents need to feel secure in their homes and in public places. District Court provides the means to make sure all of us can live our daily lives in peace. Balancing firm accountability with restorative justice practices will improve the safety and well-being of Clallam County residents. As judge, I will give fair consideration to both sides. I will also ensure that firm and appropriate safeguards are in place at every stage of the judicial process. As your District 1 Judge, I will ensure these values are supported.
Living in Sequim and working in Port Angeles gives me a more holistic perspective on the pulse of the greater community. I know the challenges that Clallam County faces first hand. These challenges require a district judge who both lives and works in the community and has a stake in the quality of life of all its residents. I will continue to renew that commitment daily.
I respectfully ask for your vote.
