I am running because this office is failing the people it was built to protect—and I have spent my career standing up when systems break down.

For years, I have been in the courtroom doing the hard work. I have handled the toughest cases, especially cases involving child abuse and crimes against the most vulnerable. I know what it means to sit with victims, earn their trust, and then fight for them without backing down. These cases are not abstract to me—they are personal, and they demand courage, preparation, and relentless follow-through.

I am fearless in court. I do not shy away from powerful opponents, political pressure, or difficult facts. Justice requires someone willing to stand firm, tell the truth, and try cases the right way—even when it’s uncomfortable. That is how I have practiced law, and that is how I will lead.

But this campaign is not just about one person in a courtroom. It is about an office that is in free fall.

Right now, the system is disorganized, understaffed, and demoralized. Good people are burning out. Cases are mishandled. Victims wait too long for answers. That is unacceptable.

We need top-to-bottom reform:

* Clear leadership and accountability

* Proper training and case organization

* A culture that values preparation, ethics, and teamwork

* An office that supports prosecutors so they can do their jobs well

This is not about politics or appearances. It is about restoring competence, integrity, and trust.

I bring real courtroom experience, proven toughness, and a deep commitment to protecting children and victims. I am not afraid to make hard decisions or to rebuild what is broken.

This office can work again. It can serve the public with strength and compassion. And it must.

That is why I am running.
