Education: Law degree

Previous offices: Associate judge

Qualifications: I have been a lawyer in this area for 31 years. For the past 13 years, since January 1999, I have been a judge. I was elected as a circuit judge in 2006. I have been a chair of the Third Circuit Family Violence Prevention Council since 1999 and of the Pro Bono Committee since it was formed. I decide cases based upon the law and the facts.

Top issues: Retention races are non-partisan and the voters need only determine whether each judge running for retention is doing the job he or she was elected to do.
