Legal/Judicial Experience
Judge, State Court of Appeals, appointed by Governor Jay Inslee, then elected. I am proud to serve the state’s second highest court, hearing cases statewide.
Other Professional Experience
Two decades in private practice, representing individuals, families, and small businesses—often against powerful corporate interests—in cases involving insurance claims, consumer protection, workplace discrimination, and complex civil litigation.
Education
BA and JD, University of Washington
Community Service
More than 10 years service to King County Bar Association Neighborhood Legal Clinics, providing free legal assistance to people who could not afford an attorney. Many cases involved renters, consumers, and working families facing immediate financial or housing insecurity.
Statement
I’m proud to be the only candidate in this position with statewide judicial experience and an appellate track record demonstrating respect for the rule of law, its impacts on communities, and all people we serve. With my background representing everyday Washingtonians, I will bring a unique perspective to the Supreme Court, where I’ll continue authoring opinions that are independent, fair, and grounded in shared values.
In every case I have taken as a lawyer, and heard as a judge, I have focused on the right of every person to equal access to justice, equal treatment under the law, and fair outcomes. I’ve written hundreds of decisions across civil, criminal, family, administrative, and constitutional law, an unmatched breadth of experience rated “exceptionally well qualified” by Washington Women Lawyers and the Cardozo Society.
I’m proudly endorsed by AG Nick Brown, Justices Gonzalez, Gordon-McCloud, Whitener, Montoya-Lewis, Mungia, Angelis, former Justices Ireland and Yu, over 100 judicial colleagues elected from all 39 counties in Washington, US Rep Pramila Jayapal, King County Exec Girmay Zahilay, WA State Labor Council, Machinists, Teachers, King County Democrats, and more.
Together, we can maintain the integrity and independence of our courts in challenging times. I ask for your vote.
