STATEMENT:
What I have learned as a district court judge is
that many people who appear in district court are
both intimidated by the court setting and are often
embarrassed by what brings them to court. In order to
make each litigant’s appearance be as free of stress
as possible, I strive to listen carefully to all sides and
treat each person with respect and dignity regardless
of the circumstances that bring them before the court.
In addition, my work as a district court judge has
broadened my understanding of the law, what people
expect of the law, and the effort required to bring the two
together. The legal system can rarely make all people
involved in a case happy. However, if those involved,
whether they are a plaintiff, a victim, or a defendant,
have been provided with an understandable decision,
then the legal process has fulfilled its intended purpose.
If retained by the voting public, I will continue to
treat all people who appear in court before me with
fairness, dignity, and respect. I will work to the best of
my abilities to decide cases fairly, impartially, promptly,
and in a way that is consistent with the laws and the
Constitution of the State of Alaska. I would be honored
to continue serving the people of Anchorage and the
State of Alaska for the next four years.
