On January 6th, the Tacoma City Council unanimously appointed me to serve on the Tacoma Municipal Court to fill the seat vacated by Judge Drew Henke. This vote of confidence is deeply meaningful, and the trust that has been bestowed upon me is not taken lightly.

Judge Henke, who has served on the court since 2014, has left a profound impact on the court and community it serves, with one of the most influential being the creation and implementation of the Behavioral Health Court. Her commitment to fairness, fight for equal access, and ongoing leadership will have a lasting impact on Tacoma, and I hope to continue her work towards a more equitable future for the justice system.

It is because of your support that I have been able to partake on this journey, and I offer my utmost gratitude for each and every one of you. It is a true honor and privilege to be able to serve Tacoma in this capacity, and my hope is to utilize my lived experiences to bring compassion and professionalism into my role.

Four years ago, I ran for this position because I believed our municipal court could be a place of innovation, collaboration, and true procedural justice. When I lost that election, I took it as an opportunity to deepen my understanding of the community I would serve and prepare for the next fight. I gained deeper trial experience, served extensively as a judge pro tempore, and helped build a therapeutic program in Auburn that created a safe, evidence‑based pathway from jail to treatment for people struggling with substance use. Over two years, I witnessed countless lives transform in ways I had never seen as a prosecutor. These experiences have strengthened my conviction that Tacoma Municipal Court can be part of the solution. I am beyond excited to embark on this journey!

Because this appointment lasts only through the end of the year, I will also be running to retain this seat. One year is not enough to accomplish the work ahead, and I am ready to get to work immediately to ensure that I retain my seat in November. Your past support was instrumental to my last campaign and I hope to earn your support for this time around.

Thank you again for standing with me and for your continued belief in a justice system that is equitable, accountable, and rooted in community. I look forward to serving Tacoma with humility and dedication!
