The independence of the judiciary is at the core of the Indiana Judicial Canons of Ethics. My candidacy is based upon the principles of being independent, balanced, and fair.
I want to help bring our courts into a more modern era — using the tools available to make justice faster and more accessible for everyone. That means fully embracing technology like e-filing, online case management, and remote hearings where appropriate — not for the sake of change, but to make the system work better for the people who rely on it.
