It is necessary for judges to be experienced in the law, dedicated to the service of their community, and fair to the people who come before them. That has been my record as your District Court Judge and I’m asking for your vote in 2026 to continue my service to you, the people.

District Court Judges are elected by the people of their assigned district for 4 year terms -- in my case, my district spans Moore and Hoke Counties. District Court is a busy court that essentially handles almost everything outside of felony criminal trials and large damage civil claims. Judges in District Court hear non-felony criminal cases, including traffic matters; family law cases, including divorce and child custody/support; juvenile criminal matters; domestic violence and other protective orders; and general civil claims where the damages are under $25,000. It is the court where you are most likely to meet a judge. As your District Court Judge, I have not only served you in court as a judge, but I have worked to gain my juvenile certification as a specialized juvenile court judge and I’m heavily involved in community organizations centered around supporting juveniles through programs like mock trial and teen court.
