| Most important issue: | I have been a lawyer for 28 years, and I have been a judicial officer for the last 8 years. I have a wide breadth of experience: as a lawyer I have represented clients (from a U.S. senator to patients in state hospitals); as a judicial officer (Family Court Referee), I have been judging cases for the last eight years, deciding difficult and emotional cases. As an experienced judicial officer, I realize the most important issue is for the Judiciary to have respect of the citizenry. I hope to continue to earn your respect and I ask for your support. | |
