Southeast Electoral District - Judge Position No. 2 · King County

Thank you for the opportunity and privilege of serving our community as a Judge for the past nine years. Over the last two terms, I have been elected by my colleagues to serve as, at times, the South Presiding Judge and Chief Presiding Judge. I have chaired the Executive Committee, Rules Committee, and currently sit on the Personnel Committee. I am also active in the community of south King County, volunteering with several non-profit organizations. I believe that a judge has a responsibility to serve outside of the courtroom as well as in it and my family and I are deeply rooted in that mission. Lawyers and judges that appear in court often forget that the experience can be intimidating and daunting. Complicated rules and procedure alienate those who are not familiar with them. District Court is the court that most people will have their only experience with this branch of government. I will never forget what it is like to be a non-lawyer appearing in court and will take them time to make sure that all questions are answered, and the expectations are clear. Give me your vote and I will continue to endeavor to earn it every day.
