Why I Am RunningI am running for Chancery Court Judge because chancery cases affect people at pivotal moments in life, when families are working through custody and divorce, when loved ones are settling estates, when guardianship or adoption decisions shape a child’s future, and when property rights are at stake. These cases call for preparation, patience, respect for the law, and a steady judicial temperament. Rankin County deserves a chancellor with meaningful experience in the kinds of matters chancery court hears every day.
