Statement: I believe strongly in the rule of law, therefore, copies of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta all hang in my law office. These laws exist for everyone. In my legal career, I have practiced in each of the areas of law a Superior Court Judge hears cases in; criminal, probates, guardianships, landlord/tenant, real estate disputes, family law matters, and civil cases.

Since 1998, I have served as Vice-President Legal Affairs for the Northwest Religious Liberty Association, a five state non-partisan advocacy group helping people of all faiths in the workplace and schools, and working to stamp out religious intolerance and protect the constitutional rights of individuals. In 2004, I was awarded an Honor by The International Religious Liberty Association for my advocacy in preserving religious liberty for churches and private schools in the 2002 King County Land Use dispute, preserving constitutional rights. In addition to volunteer work, since 1996, I have been a member of the Washington State Association for Justice, [formerly WSTLA] a group dedicated to preserving the 7th amendment right to trial by jury. If elected, I will ensure the fair rule of law.
