Real talk, I became a lawyer because when I was a teenager a police officer unlawfully stopped me and profiled me. I fought that small injustice but it gave me my first experience fighting for equity under the law. Today the stakes are greater, I fight for peoples lives who are trapped in the criminal justice system and everyday I fight for constitutional rights that are sacred to all of us.

America is facing an unprecedented challenge in our judicial system. We are living in a world where the other party normalizes mistreatment and inequity based on who you love, who you are, whether you were born here. This is wrong. The Salt Lake County Council needs a leader who understands this at their core and someone who understands how to fight back. We need someone who knows the laws to uphold the laws, and I have been doing that for over a decade here in Salt Lake County's courts and will do so on the Council.
