| Most important issue: | Voters elect judges based not on issues, but on temperament and legal expertise. My potential to serve on the court with distinction stems not only from my extensive knowledge of the law and my ability to interpret and apply the law fairly, but also from my professional experience as a practicing attorney and a national leader in the field of childrens rights and representation. Moreover, my earlier career in social work sharpened my ability to listen actively and communicate effectively with diverse communities. I actively support the Ramsey County Bar Association's efforts to keep judicial elections fair and nonpartisan. | |
