I have adhered to the following core values as a trial judge for over ten years and, if elected, I will strive to live up to these values as a Supreme Court Justice:

  1. Loyalty to our state and federal constitutions and to the people of Oregon.
  2. Respect for legal authority and a commitment to the "rule of law."
  3. Impartiality and equal treatment under law.
  4. Basic fairness and concern for others.
  5. Character: who we are as individuals and what shapes us.

  7. Earning public trust through honesty. Trust is "the glue of life."
  8. Respect for human diversity and inclusion.
