Criminal Justice / Public Safety Providing better access to the Court: The Court needs to be brought up to date. There is no online access for the public, defendants, or attorneys, meaning the public can’t look at the docket and agencies can’t review the status of pending cases. Online access saves the public time and money, and the resulting transparency improves the judicial system. Taxes / Budget Improving communication between agencies: The Court needs to have regular meetings with all stakeholders involved in the administration of justice, including the Sheriff’s Office, City Attorney’s Office, Sparks City Government, and the Defense bar. These meetings can identify efficiencies and ensure that the public’s money is spent appropriately. Criminal Justice / Public Safety My priority is making sure individuals are held accountable for their crimes and complete their sentences. I will not be afraid to make the hard call to send someone to jail for a significant amount of time if they refuse to follow our laws. However, the Court should do everything in its power to ensure people don’t reoffend.
