This is a question of a policy nature and therefore not appropriate for a judicial candidate to commit on. I have thoughts and opinions on the matter, but this question is best suited for candidates who are seeking legislative office.
Are the state’s courts accessible enough to average North Carolinians? If not, what are some improvements you will advocate for, if elected?

Tell us about a specific event in your legal career of which you are most proud.
I am most proud that I have had the opportunity to serve the public. We started our law firm with the idea to help real people solve their legal problems. I ran for the legislature to be a voice for our district and help advance the ideals of good government. I sit as a trial judge knowing the immense responsibility of the position in the lives of those coming to the court to have their matter heard. Having the opportunity to serve people is my greatest source of professional pride.
