Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 Word limit)

I am an experienced judge who works hard to see that justice is attained for all who come before the court. I know what needs to be done to be a fair and effective judge.

2. What specific changes would you like to see in the administration of justice in Ohio? (100 word limit)

I believe our system is ultimately very fair and does promote the attainment of justice. I think the system does need to better address those who come into the "system" with mental health issues.

3. What programs do you support to maintain the independence of the judiciary?

Whatever programs that are now in place.
