Platform: My judicial experience is identical to the experience of my opponent when she first sat on the Supreme Court. The difference is I have much broader life experiences which have given me a deeper understanding of the ways the laws impact us. I know what it is like to worry about my children's safety and their future. I know the challenges of divorce and of marriage.
I am running for this important office to make sure the rule of law applies equally to everyone. Our judges need to protect our property rights and respect the decisions we make when we vote. Time and time again, I fully support citizens' rights to control government spending and rulemaking by amending the State Constitution and circulating initiative petitions.
