We need judges who will keep violent criminals behind bars by imposing meaningful bail before trials, instead of letting them out to commit additional violent crimes.
We need judges with the background, skills and temperament to handle sensitive and complicated cases based on the law and the evidence. And we need judges who show up for work and run efficient courtrooms because they know justice delayed is justice denied.
We need judges who understand their role is to apply the constitution and our laws as written and not to make policy decisions.
