• I've spent nine years as a prosecutor and 10 years on the bench. I'm a constitutional conservative running to be a backstop to the liberal activists who want to use the Court of Appeals as a second legislature. It would be an honor to receive your vote on or before November 3.

• Early voting is underway, and I hope you'll make a plan to vote. From Thursday, October 15 through Saturday, October 31, you can vote at any early voting site in your county.

• I’ve worked in North Carolina courtrooms for twenty-nine years. I spent nine years as a prosecutor, nine in private practice, and the last eleven as a judge, first in District Court and now in Superior Court. That time shaped how I see the job.

• Most people's only encounter with our court system isn't a headline case. It's a traffic citation. A custody matter. A dispute with a neighbor or a landlord. A young person at a crossroads.
