Local Attorney Seeking Support

I am running for Town of Otsego town justice because I am the right person to ensure the court treats our citizens with respect. How a local judge runs their court and treats those who come before it has a strong impact on our sense of freedom and fairness. I will run the court efficiently and fairly for all, no matter how “small” the matter. The world is run by those who show up—and I have a long track record of showing up and doing the work.

My commitment to the pursuit of justice is not part-time nor in my spare time. I’ve dedicated my education and professional career to it. After I graduated from Cooperstown High School (my last name was Carlson back then), I studied the classics at the University of Southern California. I earned my Juris Doctorate from the University of Notre Dame Law School, a school that educates “a different kind of lawyer” by teaching both the purpose of law and meaning of justice.

As a local attorney, I’ve spent more than a decade appearing in town courts. I have also appeared in the supreme, county, family and surrogate’s courts of Otsego, Delaware, and Chenango counties. I’ve served as the local town justice for the Town of Unadilla from April 2019 through January 2023. I am experienced in the role and with the court’s internal procedures including the Centralized Arraignment Program.

I believe in service above self and I am committed to our community. I am the secretary of the Otsego County Bar Association, the vice president of the Rotary Club of Cooperstown, and I serve on the Board of Directors of the Leatherstocking Cooperative Insurance Company. I spend the precious free time that I have with my family, loving on my two beautiful daughters. If you see us strolling around the Village of Cooperstown on our way to or from Badger Park, please feel free to say “hello”!

It would be my honor to serve as a justice for the Town of Otsego—my hometown that I love. I promise to be fair and patient, to follow the law, and to run the court with integrity. Please vote for me on November 7.
