Campaign

A Commitment to Fairness, Integrity, and Public Service

I am running for Judge of the Orphans' Court because I believe every family deserves to be treated with fairness, respect, and compassion during some of life's most significant transitions.

The work of the Orphans' Court requires careful preparation, sound judgment, and a commitment to applying the law fairly and impartially. These are qualities I have developed throughout my career and will bring to the Court if elected.

My Priorities

If elected, I will:

  • 01Apply the law fairly and impartially.
  • 02Treat every individual and family with dignity and respect.
  • 03Prepare thoroughly before every decision.
  • 04Listen carefully to those who come before the Court.
  • 05Conduct the business of the Court with professionalism, integrity, and respect for the law.

Serving Talbot County

Public service is both a privilege and a responsibility. Throughout this campaign, I have met residents across Talbot County, listened to their concerns, and shared educational resources designed to help families prepare for the future.

I would be honored to earn your vote and the opportunity to serve the citizens of Talbot County as Judge of the Orphans' Court.

Thank you for your consideration and your support.
