It has been my absolute privilege to serve our county for the past 11 years as a Judge in the Court of Common Pleas. There isn't a day that goes by that I am not thinking about the safety and well being of our residents when dealing with my criminal docket. I also strive to be as fair as possible to every defendant that is present in my courtroom. I pride myself on this attitude. I work equally hard to be as efficient and just with regard to my civil case docket. Those cases, while not in the criminal realm, cost significant amounts of time and money for the parties, so I endeavor to move cases along as quickly as possible.

I have spent nearly my entire legal career working on behalf of others, through my civil work in labor and employment law, my work on Cincinnati City Council, my work as an advocate for children while at the Hamilton County Prosecutor's office, and today as a Judge in the Court of Common Pleas. It is always an honor to know I am serving someone else in my daily work.

I look forward to serving the people of Hamilton County for the next 6 years, too. I ask for your vote on November 5, 2024.
