Statement: With eight years of judicial experience, six as a judge pro tem in King County Superior Court, I am an experienced judge. I have made the difficult decisions that profoundly affect people’s lives; decisions about liberty, property, family.

As a trial attorney in King County Superior Court, I learned how to judge from experienced and talented judges. Their lessons inform my own judging.

For 25+years, I have worked to remove barriers to justice while also serving my community. I have provided thousands of hours of free legal representation, created a new revenue stream, $1million to date, that funds civil legal aid, shut down a predatory lending operation, and expanded legal services for victims of domestic violence. As a King County Superior Court judge, I will work to raise awareness of implicit bias and find solutions to racial disproportionality. I will diligently pursue justice for all.
