Fair Courts. Independent Judiciary. Justice for Texans.

I’m running for the Texas Supreme Court to bring balance, independence, and experience to the bench.

Why I’m Running

Texas is a diverse, dynamic state, but our highest court doesn’t reflect that. The Texas Supreme Court has become a rubber stamp for the executive branch and has failed to live up to its purpose of independently interpreting the law. Texans deserve a court that holds everyone accountable—including those in power.

What I Bring

  • Proven Experience

    • Appellate justice for more than seven years, authoring 800+ opinions
  • Real-World Perspective

    • Lifelong public servant bringing an underrepresented voice to the court
  • Expertise

    • Double board-certified in Judicial Administration and Criminal Law
  • A Record of Public Service

    • Former Army JAG officer, prosecutor, and sitting appellate judge
  • Independent Judgment

    • Held that Attorney General Ken Paxton was not above the law in the whistleblower case

Who I am

As a mother, veteran, and Democrat, I am ready to bring proven experience, balance, and a fresh perspective to the Texas Supreme Court.

The bottom Line

Texans deserve a Supreme Court that reflects the people it serves, applies the law consistently, and puts justice over politics. That’s why I’m running.
