Question 1:

What experiences – both personal and professional – do you bring to this position that you believe make you uniquely qualified for the role of Justice of the Supreme Court? Why should voters choose you?

I've been a practicing attorney for nearly 25 years and successfully argued cases in the Supreme Courts of Kentucky and West Virginia. As a member of the Kentucky General Assembly I’ve earned a reputation as a strong defender of good government, transparency and accountability. I’ve held other elected public figures to those standards and believe our state’s highest court should be filled by men and women of the highest integrity who strive to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

I have served as a trial judge for 25 plus years in Eastern Kentucky. For the past 13 years, I have served as a Circuit Court Judge while also running a specialty Drug Court. Prior to being elected to the Circuit Court, I served 12 years as a District Court Judge. I believe that every life has value and every person matters. My Christian, Conservative values guide my life.
