They say nothing worth having comes easy, and they were right. With both immense pride and admittedly, some sadness, my 35th district court campaign comes to an end.
Politics, unfortunately, is as dirty of a game as everyone says—even at the local level. Those who are threatened by their opponents resort to gamesmanship in disruption of democracy. While elections are meant for the people to decide, self-interested, seasoned campaigners will do whatever it takes to eliminate their competition. I now know this first-hand.
So, now what? I am thrilled to return to the Michigan Supreme Court to finish up the term with the Chief Justice. Back to the place that inspired me to run for judge and confirmed my love for the judiciary.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support along the way. I will never have the words to express my gratitude to those who joined my team, hosted a fundraiser, gave an endorsement or donation, knocked doors, shared my story, promoted our message, and stood by my side. I am so incredibly proud of what we accomplished together and proud to have ran this campaign with the highest morals, integrity, positivity, and enthusiasm.
This was my first race, but certainly not my last. And when the time is right for me to hit the campaign trail again, I will be better than ever before.
