Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

I will fight to restore citizens? trust in Hamilton County?s judicial system by advocating increased preparation time for public defenders to help prevent wrongful convictions. I successfully lobbied the Hamilton County Public Defender?s Office to increase wages for public defenders. This action ensured that citizens who could not afford counsel were not denied their right to qualified counsel. I will also support procedures that encourage selection of juries that are reflective of our community.
