Beverly believes the community no longer has faith, trust or respect for the judiciary. She has a vision to restore the community’s belief in the justice system. Her vision requires a totality of the circumstances approach to rulings and decisions. Every case is unique with different parties and circumstances. The impact on the community is different with every crime. Therefore, every ruling must be unique to address those issues.
As Judge, Beverly’s goal is to tailor rulings and decisions to ensure justice for all parties involved in the case while addressing the needs and concerns of the community.
Beverly is running for Judge of the 208th Criminal District Court. This court requires strong leadership to ensure the community at large is strongly considered while maintaining the rights of the accused. Beverly is running because she is Strong.
