Why are you running for this office?
I am running for the office of Justice of the Peace to serve my community by offering my knowledge, training, and more than thirty years of experience in law enforcement – alongside bringing my proven ability to be impartial and fair; also, as a retired member of law enforcement, I still have that drive and desire to give back to my community. Moreover, I believe it is imperative to uphold the rule of law and better our community.
What do you hope to accomplish in this office?
If elected, my primary goals are as follows: to alleviate the current caseload, build community trust, and ensure that – in my capacity as Justice of the Peace – the rights of citizens will be protected and upheld, especially victims. Furthermore, I will strive to embody the essential principles of the position: objectiveness, impartiality, and the rule of law. I will not waver in my adherence to these principles.
