Occupation Attorney
As a former prosecutor, I have fought for justice. I have spent my life standing up for what is right. I believe we need judges who are experienced trial attorneys and willing to go to trial.

I'm proud to be the only female in the race and believe I bring insight into important issues such as domestic violence that is harming so many members of our community.
Crime has been on the rise in Houston. We need judges who are tough on crime and who also protect the rights of the innocent.
