Fairness, respectfulness, and efficiency are three very important attributes.
I have served as a district court judge since 2021. For several years before then, I was an assistant state’s attorney. Each position involved significant work in the courtroom - from short hearings to jury trials.
As a judge, my duty is to abide by existing law.
Access can be improved by continuing to refine: technology, the rural justice program, and the ND Supreme Court’s web-based self-help center.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.

VOTE411 is brought to you by the League of Women Voters Education Fund and League of Women Voters of Minnesota Education Fund. The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any political party or candidate for office.
