Why I’m Running
“My very first visit to a courthouse was as a 9-year-old child when I had to testify for a friend who was assaulted. At that moment, I developed a deep respect for our justice system.
Since then, I’ve seen firsthand how much victims, families, and citizens depend on this system to work through my career as a Certified Paralegal.
I’m running for District Clerk to ensure the office operates with the accuracy, accountability, and respect that Smith County citizens deserve.”
