<p> I have lived and worked in Cincinnati for the last nineteen years. Currently, I live in Silverton with my husband and three children-ages 15, 12 and 9. All of my children attend Cincinnati Public Schools. I am the eldest and only daughter of two retired public school teachers. I was privileged to have two parents who taught me the value of hard work and more importantly how to work in the service of others. For over 13 years, I have been a defender of rights and a defender of people, working as a Public Defender in Hamilton County. I am very familiar with the law, the courts, and most importantly, serving the public. Currently, I serve as the Director of the Juvenile Delinquency Division of the Office. In this position, I lead a team of attorneys, social workers and administrative staff. I have also practiced in both Municipal and Common Pleas Court. As a long-time public defender, I have worked to help hundreds of people navigate the criminal legal system. I have given a voice to people who would otherwise not have one. I get to know my clients, their families, and their experiences.

<li>As judge, I will work to reduce disparities within the criminal legal and prison systems. Even though blacks make up roughly 13% of the U.S. population, they represent about 40% of the prison population. According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, blacks have a greater chance than whites of being arrested, convicted and sent prison for the same behavior. And when blacks are sent to prison, they typically receive sentences that are about 20% longer than their white counterparts. Reform of our criminal legal system is essential to eliminating racial injustice.</li>
<li>As judge, I will work to reform of the cash bail system. The purpose of bail is to ensure that an individual returns to court and that the community is protected. Research shows that the ability to pay a monetary bond has no bearing on either of those things. What monetary bond does do is cause people who have very little to begin with, to lose what they have, such as their jobs, their homes, or even their families, just because they are poor. Reform of our cash bail system is essential to eliminating economic injustice.</li>
<li>As judge, I will work with other judges, court personnel, prosecutors, defense attorneys and law enforcement to promote and utilize alternatives to incarceration and developing programs focused on restorative justice. Utilization of these types of programs will help to reduce the problem of mass incarceration in our prison system.</li>

<p> I am passionate about equal justice for all people. I have worked in the "trenches" of the criminal legal system for over 13 years. While I have had the privilege to defend the rights of hundreds of people over my career, there is a critical need for systemic change. We need change to ensure that justice and fairness for all people is in the foundation of our courts. While I have served many people well as a dedicated Public Defender, I believe that as a judge, I can do more to implement systemic change and that is why I am running. While I will follow the law and weigh evidence fairly and justly, I also want to work with other judges to create and utilize programs in our justice system that focus on reducing disparities and protecting vulnerable populations. I want to work to reform our cash bail system and develop programs that focus on rehabilitation, restorative justice, and fairer enforcement of the law. I believe that such programs will ensure that every person has equal access to justice and that the justice system works fairly and equally for everyone.

<p> A person whose example I would like to follow is that of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. First of all, she was a woman "blazing trails" in a man's world. She worked hard for everything she achieved and she never forgot where she came from. Second, she was a defender of justice and human rights before she ever took the bench as a judge. She spent years in the service of others. As a long-time public defender I can identify with someone who stands up and gives a voice to those who would not otherwise have one. Also, she was not afraid to disagree. She was known as the great "dissenter" for her ability to stand up against the majority to argue for what she believed was the right thing, even if it was unpopular. And finally, she always had a grace and class about her, but in a way that was relatable to everyday people.

<p> I believe that my background and experience serving the residents of Hamilton County in the criminal legal system make me a great fit for Common Pleas Judge. As a long-time public defender, I have worked tirelessly to assist hundreds of people navigate the criminal justice system. Now, as a leader in the Public Defender's Office I have been a champion of systemic change. I've worked to end the practice of shackling of children in court rooms, I've worked to protect the rights of victims of human trafficking, I worked to bring social workers to the Public Defender's Office, and I am now working to develop a community-involved defense model for youth in Hamilton County, the first of its kind in the state. I am, and have always been, passionate about justice and fairness for everyone. Over the last 13 years, I have seen firsthand the injustice and inequality in our court system. Unfortunately, a disproportionate number of the people who are entrenched in our criminal legal system are black and brown people. We need judges who look like the people who come before them. We need judges who are just and fair and that are committed to criminal justice reform to make our system fair and equitable for all.

<p> Judges perform a variety of tasks inside and outside the courtroom. In the courtroom, they preside over criminal and civil cases, which involve listening to witness testimony, ruling on the admissibility of evidence and motions presented to the court, informing defendants of their rights, instructing juries, deciding guilt or innocence and determining liability or damages. However, Judges don't do all of their work in the courtroom. They perform certain duties outside the courtroom as well, including researching the law, writing opinions, and establishing court rules and procedures.

<p> I am, and have always been, passionate about inclusion, justice and fairness for everyone. I believe judges should be thorough, fair and just in every decision. Judges should treat all people with respect and dignity and demand that everyone appearing in her Courtroom treat each other with dignity and respect. Judges should be transparent, and hold themselves accountable for uncovering any biases that they might have, and working to eliminate and overcome those biases. I also believe that judges should make fixing systemic problems in our criminal legal system a top priority, such as eliminating racial disparities.

<p> I am running for judge with the hope of bringing fairness and justice reform to our criminal legal system. I have extensive experience as a trial attorney, and currently, I am director of the Juvenile Division of the Hamilton County Public Defender's Office. Over the course of my career, I have helped hundreds of people navigate the criminal legal system, and I have seen firsthand the injustices that people face every day in our courts. I have seen racial, economic and social injustice. While I have worked very hard for my individual clients and as a leader in the public defender's office to fight against injustice, I have learned that judges are really the ones who decide how the Court system operates. Right now we don't have judges on the bench that are working toward reform, even though they are aware that problems and disparities exist. Experience doesn't matter when you keep doing the same things that do not work. We are long overdue for systemic reform and that is why I running for judge.

<p> Right now, we have system that is punitive, expensive, and ineffective. We need to stop throwing people away. It's time we bring justice reform to our criminal legal system. And it's time we bring "Smart Justice" to Hamilton County. "Smart Justice" means, that when appropriate, we find alternatives to incarceration and we utilize programs that promote accountability but also protect against disparities. "Smart Justice" means that we develop programs that focus on restorative justice. Restorative justice emphasizes repairing the harm caused by criminal behavior and encourages all of those affected by crime to participate in the process in a meaningful and restorative way. "Smart Justice" means reform of our cash bail system. The purpose of bail is to ensure that an individual returns to court and that the community is protected. Research shows that the ability to pay a monetary bond has no bearing on either of those things. Generally, what cash bail does is cause people who have very little to begin with, lose what they have-such as their jobs, their homes, or even their families. "Smart Justice" means that we attempt to treat instead of incarcerate people with drug addiction and mental health issues and ensure that everyone who needs these services has equal access to them.
