Explain your background and how this qualifies you for the position you are

seeking.

I have been practicing in criminal law, general civil and family law for

about 20 years. Prior to becoming the deputy district attorney in Storey

County in 2007, I was a justice of the peace and deputy D.A. in Elko County

for more than a decade. Prior to attending law school at age 40, I was a

systems analyst/programmer specializing in database management systems. I

am a U.S. Navy veteran.

My background uniquely qualifies me for the office because not only do I

have a proven track record in Storey County, my combination of education and

life experience will continue to be employed in performing the duties of the

office.

What are the most important issues that you would address if elected?

As I have for the past three years, I will continue to stress the fair and

impartial prosecution of criminal offenses, seeking justice above all else.

I plan to expand our services to the community by outreach in education to

help citizens avoid being victimized.

The civil case load of the county will be brought back into the District

Attorney's Office so that the county is no longer required to expend

thousands of dollars for outside legal counsel.

Why should voters choose you over other candidate?

I am the only candidate for Storey County DA who has an active connection to

the county and voters can rest assured that they will be treated with the

respect they deserve and the experience they can count on.
