Why am I the right choice for Judge on the Court of Common Pleas?

Judges are truth seekers as are District Attorneys.

For most of my 25-year career as an attorney, I have been in a courtroom handling thousands of cases for those who are most vulnerable. As DA, I am a strong advocate for justice. I have worked well with victims, law enforcement, judges, defense attorneys, school administrators, mental health agencies, nonprofits, drug and alcohol treatment providers, community residents, and others by being objective and reasonable.

If elected Judge on the Chester County Court of Common Pleas, I will make reasoned decisions for just outcomes by demonstrating dignity and respect to all who appear before me. I will listen to all sides thoughtfully, comprehensively, and without bias. And I will continue to implement the democratic values of fairness and equal justice under the law.

Justice For All.

Serving as the Chester County District Attorney has been one of the greatest honors of my career. Since taking office, I have been dedicated to the mission of keeping our communities safe and doing everything in my power as DA to effectuate justice fairly. Now I look forward to the opportunity to serve the county as a fair and impartial jurist committed to the integrity of the courts, the protection of individuals rights, and the due process of law.

Implemented the Chester County Law Enforcement Treatment Initiative

Working with Attorney General Shapiro, I implemented LETI to provide an alternative for those with substance use disorders to get treatment, rather than punishment, for low-level, non-violent offenses. 

Smart on Crime

I am proud to report that crime in Chester County has decreased by over 10% during the past three years.

Created the Chester County Law Enforcement Task Force on Race & Justice

In response to the murder of George Floyd, I created the Chester County Law Enforcement Task Force on Race & Justice with the goal of improving relationships between communities of color and law enforcement. 

Increased Youth Aid Panels

I increased the Youth Aid Panels in the county to allow certain juvenile offenders second chances instead of earning a record that will hinder them for the rest of their lives.
