My record reflects that I administered jus- tice equally, fairly and without favoritism, and I will do so again if elected. My life experiences, judicial service, 23 years of represent- ing individuals and businesses in private practice, together with my community, civic, and religious involvement, make me uniquely qualified to serve you again.

I was educated in our public schools and obtained my law degree from Carolina. I ask for your support and vote.
