Goals: In your own words, explain the goals, responsibilities, and limitations of this role. (This question is exclusive to the online Vote411 Voter Guide.)
I've lived in Potter County for almost 20 years. I raised my family, built a law practice with my husband, and feel this is the right time to serve. A large portion of the judge’s responsibilities is handling probate and guardianship matters, which is what I've done during my career. My legal experience has also allowed me to work on business transactions, review and negotiate contracts, and manage complex decisions, all of which are critical given the multiple responsibilities of this office.
My top priority is developing a long-term plan for Potter County. It will help us identify challenges before they become crises, prioritize funding, and make more informed decisions about infrastructure, public safety, and revenue. It will also give us a framework to address our shrinking population by attracting new businesses and high-paying jobs. I will also focus on the county budget and make sure every dollar invested by taxpayers is used wisely and delivers real value to the County.
