Statement: I was born and raised in Spokane. My husband and I are proud to raise our three children here. These deep roots energize my ongoing commitment to public service. I started my career in private practice and have served this community as a prosecutor for over a decade. I have litigated all levels of criminal offenses, including the most violent crimes our community faces. I have also worked with those suffering from behavioral and substance abuse disorders and charted pathways to success. I will bring my broad experience, integrity, and courage to the bench. I thank you for your vote.
