Judicial Candidate Profile

1. Which of the current Supreme Court Justices most reflects your judicial philosophy? (Chief John G Roberts; Antonin Scalia; Anthony M. Kennedy; Clarence Thomas; Ruth Bader Ginsburg; Stephen G. Breyer; Samuel Anthony Alito; Sonia Sotomayer; Elena Kagen)
Candidate's Answer:
When I read appellate decisions, I do not focus on who wrote the opinion. My focus instead is on the opinion itself, the conclusions reached, and the reasoning behind those conclusions of law. As a trial judge my role is to apply the law, which includes the decisions and guidance of our appellate courts, regardless of who may have written the opinion. While dissenting opinions are also useful in providing insights as to questions which still may be unresolved or which may arise from the Court’s decision, once again, the particular author is less important than the conclusions reached and the rationale for those conclusions. So, at the end of the day, I don’t feel comfortable picking one particular Justice who may best reflect my personal views.

2. What is the proper role of the court for which you are seeking office?
Candidate's Answer:
Superior Courts are our state’s Constitutionally created trial courts of general jurisdiction. They are designed to serve the public by resolving disputes between people, as well as people and entities such as the government itself. Superior Courts resolve alleged violations of our criminal laws and clarify or determine legal rights such as providing for adoptions, name changes. They also act as appellate courts reviewing the decisions of courts of limited jurisdiction and certain governmental administrative decisions. Superior Courts, just like our courts of limited jurisdiction, such as the District Court, serve the public by protecting the rights and liberties guaranteed by our Washington and United States Constitutions.

3. What is your judicial philosophy?
Candidate's Answer:
Judges are the cornerstone of our justice system. At all times a judge must act fairly, impartially, and have the courage to reach the correct decision required by the law. A judge should not use his or her position to promote a political agenda. When applying and interpreting the law a judge should respect the legislature’s role and authority to enact and change laws. However, it is the court’s duty to make sure that laws, rules and regulations conform to the overarching principles and guidance of the people as expressed in the Washington and United States Constitutions.

A good judge is a good listener, and is courteous and respectful to all who appear before the court. When announcing a decision, it is important to explain it clearly. Clear explanation promotes understanding and respect for the law and the decisions made.

In addition to having been a judge for over seven years, I served for three years as a Police Officer. I also served for 18 years as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, 12 of those years were devoted solely to criminal prosecution. I know it is important that those convicted of crimes must be held accountable for their actions. Sentences must be fair, follow the law and encourage law-abiding behavior. A judge should consider the circumstances and needs of the community, the victim, and the offender in hopes of reaching an outcome that is just and appropriate in each case.

As an elected judge, I am accountable to the citizens for my actions. I strive at all times to act in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the court. I perform my judicial and administrative duties without bias or prejudice, and conduct my judicial actions and personal affairs in an ethical manner.

Judges also must work to improve the legal system. They have a responsibility to help lead the judicial branch of government and improve the court through innovation, procedural transparency, and heightened access to justice. While judges cannot give legal advice or counsel, we must nonetheless do our best to make our courts accessible to all and inform the public as to how to conduct their business with the court.

Finally, I realize the law is not a stagnant thing; it changes and evolves over time. A judge must stay abreast of new appellate court decisions that affect the law as well as changes in the law itself. I am always willing to undertake in-depth legal research to solve legal questions posed to me and arrive at well reasoned decisions. It is my responsibility to the law and the people I serve.
