Statement
Whatcom County is my home. I grew up in Bellingham, attended local schools, and graduated from WWU. My extended family lives here and my wife and I are raising our children here. This is my community.

I work for the people. I started as a lawyer for the City of Bellingham and climbed my way up through Municipal, District, and Juvenile Courts. I now prosecute felony crime in Superior Court, with a focus on seeking justice for survivors of sexual assault. Outside the courtroom, I teach constitutional law at the college, and provide regular legal training to police and community groups. Through this, and time spent as a judge pro tem, I gained invaluable civil, criminal, and judicial experience.

I am grateful for the meaningful endorsements of Whatcom County Judges Matt Elich and David Grant, Bellingham Police Guild, Prosecutor Eric Richey, Sheriff Bill Elfo, Lummi Police Captain Melanie Campos, Whatcom Councilmember Barry Buchanan, Humane Society Director Laura Clark, and many other community leaders.

As your Judge, I will promote equality in the courtroom and serve each of you with compassion and integrity. My commitment is to the people of Whatcom County and I humbly ask for your vote.
