Top Priorities if Elected |   
- Maintaining a judiciary free of special interest group influence.
 - Bringing my expertise in complex litigation typical of Silicon Valley to the Superior Court.
 - Utilizing rehabilitation and treatment in appropriate drug cases.
  
- I am committed to a fair and impartial judiciary that is free from the influence of special interest groups or persons that litigate in Superior Court.  For this reason, I am neither seeking nor accepting contributions or endorsements from attorneys, corporations, and/or special interest groups which may appear before me.  Accepting such money or endorsements politicizes the office of judge and may undermine the independence and neutrality of the court.
