JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

"I believe in protecting and defending the U.S. and Texas Constitutions, which are living documents. I believe that regardless of one's political party affiliation or personal beliefs, one shall always be impartial, compassionate, decisive, open-minded and free from bias in order to interpret laws fairly to achieve just outcomes. I believe that diversity of thinkers will contribute to deeper analysis, meaningful critical thinking, and better interpretation of the laws. Last, but not least, I believe that 'justice for all' shall be a reality and can be achieved when there is representation of individuals for all Texans."
