Thank you to everyone who has been reading and sharing my posts about this campaign.
I've noticed some "😂" reactions on posts about serious issues like constitutional rights and the role of the court. If you have a question or a different perspective, I truly welcome it — please ask or I'll be happy to reach out to you.
Since this is a non-partisan judicial race, I want to clarify a few things that may be helpful:
1. WHAT A JUDGE CAN AND CANNOT DO. A judge does not make or change laws. That is the job of the Legislature. A judge's job is to interpret and apply the law fairly, impartially, and as it is written, to the facts of each case.
2. ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. My role, if elected, is to protect the constitutional rights of every person who comes before the court — regardless of their background or beliefs — by ensuring due process, a fair hearing, and equal application of the law.
3. WHY I CAN'T ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS. Under the Michigan Code of Judicial Conduct, a judicial candidate cannot make promises about how they would rule on a future case, nor can I comment on partisan politics or support partisan candidates. This is to preserve the independence and impartiality of the judiciary for everyone.
This race is about experience, temperament, fairness, and a commitment to the rule of law.
It's about Parents Rights. It's about Childrens Rights. It's about the Best Interest of the Child.
If you have a legitimate and relevant question about the court, the role of a judge, or my experience and qualifications, please put it in the comments or send me a message. I will do my best to answer.
Thank you for engaging in this important conversation about our courts.
We have less than a week and one chance to change the dynamics of the Family Courts in Lapeer County or live with it for another 6 years!
IT'S YOUR CALL LAPEER! I'm happy to take the troll heat to have an opportunity for change. We have nothing to lose.
