Question 3
Why are you running for this particular court seat?
As a life-long resident of Washington County, I am running for Municipal Court Judge because I believe that I can do a lot for my County as a Municipal Court Judge. I have the willingness to put in the time and effort that is needed to be Municipal Court Judge. This Court is not an 8-5 Monday thru Friday, the Municipal Court Judge has to be available to review search warrants at all times. Also, the Judge has to devote time to review bonds, and probable cause for warrants as needed.
I want to continue and expand the Marietta Municipal Court Mental Heatlh Docket. I want to continue the development of the Pretrial Services Program. If elected Judge I want to establish a specialized docket for Domestic Violence and update the Court Computer System. I have experience in writing and maintaining a grant for my current position, which I will use to seek additional grants to fund a Domestic Violence Docket.
