ABOUT ME

Putting My Experience
to Work

I believe that my legal experience prepares me to serve as a judge with dignity and compassion. For 12 years it has been my honor to serve Cuyahoga County as a public defender. I have represented thousands of indigent residents in a variety of criminal and civil custody matters.

I believe my defense background will enable a fresh perspective and bring innovative ideas to better serve the needs of our community.

With this in mind I am running for Judge in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas - General Division. Community leaders and labor organizations have honored me with their endorsements, but your trust and your vote is the most important endorsement of all. I hope you'll reach out with any questions.

I ask for your support in the Democratic primary on March 17, 2020 to finish the term vacated by Justice Michael P. Donnelly when he was elected to the Supreme Court of Ohio.
