Other Professional Experience
I am an experienced trial Prosecutor. For 28 years, I have successfully prosecuted thousands of cases including aggravated first-degree murder, rape, arson, and drug trafficking. I also argued cases before the Court of Appeals and Washington State Supreme Court. I battled the war on drugs and gangs alongside the Tri-City Metro Drug Task Force, Kennewick Criminal Apprehension Team, and the Richland and Pasco Street Crimes Units.

Statement
Benton County citizens deserve a Prosecutor armed with the experience and knowledge to uphold the Constitution and ensure justice is served. I have a proven record of asking for high bail and not plea bargaining with violent criminals. I aggressively prosecute drug trafficking and gang-related crimes to ensure a safe community. I will go to trial against those who falsely claim insanity to avoid responsibility. As the daughter of a Marine, I value our therapeutic and Veteran courts and support appropriate candidates for these programs. I will prioritize the office’s backlog of over 500 cases awaiting charging decisions so the victims finally have their day in court.
I’m proud to work alongside our partners in law enforcement. I am trusted and endorsed by representatives of every division of the criminal justice system including retired Judge Carrie Runge; retired KPD Commanders Aaron Clem, BJ Moos, and Craig Littrell; retired RPD Command Staff Darryl Judge and Mike Cobb and Detectives Luke Flohr and Bob Benson; retired WRPD Chief Ben Majetich; BCSO Detectives Jordan Croskrey and Alejandro Betancourth and retired Sheriffs Larry Taylor and Steve Keane.
I respectfully ask for your vote and would be honored to serve as your next Prosecuting Attorney.
