I am a senior deputy district attorney in the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office. I have worked in the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office for over 15 years in a wide range of cases including those involving rape, child abuse, domestic violence, and murder. I am endorsed by more than 39 elected officials including Sheriff Chad Bianco and District Attorney Michael Hestrin, and more than 16 law enforcement agencies. I am also endorsed by community groups including Crime Victims United and the First Responders Assistance Foundation.

  • I will enforce the law as written, not as I wish it were written.
  • I believe public safety should be a top priority.
  • I will strive to increase accountability and transparency to the public.

I am passionate about the mental health concerns that remain unaddressed and ensuring people receive adequate treatment to not only increase public safety, but to allow these individuals to fully participate in society.

I really admire Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia.

Absolutely. I believe an effective bench officer tries to meet people on their level to ensure they felt seen and heard.
