Statement: Unparalleled Experience and Integrity
After 17 years under the leadership of Norm Maleng and Dan Satterberg, as a Deputy King County Prosecutor trying cases against incredibly violent felons, I will bring my vast experience to the bench as your next District Court Judge. I have prosecuted over 200 felony criminal jury trials, countless misdemeanors, 200 Court of Appeals cases, more than a dozen cases in the Washington State Supreme Court and I am a member of the United States Supreme Court Bar. I am the only candidate who possesses this level of courtroom experience and legal knowledge.
Founding member of King County Prosecutor’s Office Domestic Violence Unit. I helped write and enact one of the nation’s first felony strangulation laws and domestic violence laws addressing repeat offenders.
