I am running for Judge because justice in Inglewood shouldn’t look different than justice in Brentwood.

As a public defender for over thirty years, I have too often seen people with means treated differently

than the poor and those from marginalized communities. I will treat all parties equally, regardless of

race, class, gender, identity or orientation.

We need justice that restores our community to wholeness – treating victims of crime with compassion,

empathy, and fairness, as well as those accused of crimes. I will uphold public safety by holding people

accountable for their actions, while addressing the root causes of criminality, with a focus on treatment

over incarceration in appropriate cases.

I have been rated “Well Qualified” by the Los Angeles County Bar Association. I’ve been endorsed by

the LA Times, the LA County Democratic Party, the Mexican American Bar Association, and Labor

Unions. I have the support of the people that work in the courts every day, including more than 50

Superior Court Judges, prosecutors, court clerks, court reporters and court interpreters.

I am seeking election as a judge because I believe we can have justice reform, equal treatment under

the law, and public safety. Justice Matters.
