District Court Judge, Ketchikan, 1995-present. Adjunct Professor, University of Alaska Southeast, Juneau and Ketchikan, 1989-97. The court is a place where people reasonably expect fair and courteous treatment. The court is also a place where people expect protection and enforcement of our federal and state laws and constitutions.
Judges have a duty to insure public trust and confidence in the court system.
It has been my privilege to work as a judge for the people of Alaska. If retained, I will continue to work hard to improve our court system. I have learned that a judge has great power to affect lives and equally great responsibility to insure that power is never abused. I will do my best to be fair to all people that depend on the court system for justice.
