Broad Legal Experience and a Record of Service to our Community
The Broadest Experience for the Bench
For a court that handles all serious felonies including murder, sexual assault, family violence and child abuse, I am the only candidate with experience handling these types of cases as both a prosecutor and defense attorney. Over the course of my 20 year career, I have been involved in all aspects of the criminal justice system. Currently, I serve the community as the Austin Police Monitor, where I work to bring balance, integrity and sound judgment to the citizen complaint process against Austin Police Department officers. This broad range of experience has prepared me for the tremendous responsibility of serving our community as the next judge of the 147th District Court.
