Why I’m Running
Circuit Court Judges are responsible for a wide variety of cases, including homicide, sexual assault, juvenile law, and business disputes. As an attorney, I have handled a wide variety of cases and appeared in many courtrooms in front of many judges. I have seen firsthand how important it is that a Circuit Court Judge be fair, impartial, and make decisions based on the law and the facts.
That is the kind of judge I will be.
A judge must be fair and impartial, loyal to the Constitution, and committed to serving the community with integrity. Growing up in Wausau, I learned to work hard, do the right thing, and give back to my community. Those are the values my wife and I instill in our children. And those are the values I will bring to my work as a Circuit Court Judge.
The rule of law will guide me every day. No one is above the law. Applying our laws evenly in every case and ensuring everyone in the courtroom is treated respectfully is the cornerstone of our democratic system.
No one should have special access to justice or be prosecuted unfairly. To maintain the trust and confidence of the people we serve, Judges must demonstrate independence, integrity and above all impartiality.
During my legal career, I have worked collaboratively with Law Enforcement, prosecutors, defense attorneys, the faith community, advocates, and community organizations to improve the criminal justice system.
I will continue that collaborative approach as a Judge. By working together, we can make Marathon County safer.
