Platform Statement

It is a great honor to be nominated for another term on the Judicial Council. Being a member of the Judicial Council for nearly three years has been a great pleasure.

Each level of our judicial system has a unique feeling to it and my prior experience as a government attorney and now counsel for both government and private sector employers provides me with unique insight into what works well and how we can positively improve our judicial system, for everyone.

If elected, I will continue to engage with members of the State Bar and citizens of Wisconsin navigating our judicial system so that they too can have a voice in practice and procedures affecting attorneys and those they represent.

With new funding for a staff attorney, the Judicial Council is excited to continue its important work with renewed energy, and I hope to continue that work with my colleagues and for all litigants, including the unrepresented.
