It has been my privilege to have served as a Circuit and District Court Judge for Clatsop County since 1993.
As a judge, I have treated all people appearing in my courtroom with respect and I give each case serious and careful consideration. I know that each case that comes to court is important to the people who are involved, whether as a party, a witness or victim. I will continue to devote myself to these principles. I welcome the opportunity to continue as a Circuit Court Judge for Clatsop County.
I also believe it is important to give back to our community by volunteering time to many different activities. I will continue to pursue those opportunities as well.
