“I am thrilled to announce my candidacy for the Chester County Court of Common Pleas and am excited about the opportunity to continue serve the people of Chester County as a Common Pleas Judge. In my present role as Magisterial District Judge, I demonstrate every day that a judge can uphold the laws of the Pennsylvania and our great nation while treating all litigants and defendants with dignity, respect, and fairness.”
