QUESTION 1: òòò½ÊÓÆµ attorney general, what areas of consumer protection would you emphasize and promote?
Two major consumer protection problems is debt collection abuse and contractor fraud. Our elderly are particularly vulnerable to both these. Collectors often do not comply with the law and use scare tactics and harassment, while with a sluggish economy, many unemployed perform contractor work they are not qualified to do either through an overestimation of abilities or actual fraud.
QUESTION 2: What experience, training or education do you have that makes you the best qualified candidate for this office?
Protecting the civil rights of the citizens is an important duty of the Attorney General. I have 20 years of experience bringing cases under the òòò½ÊÓÆµ Human Rights Act on the basis of race, gender, age, and disability. I also have represented clients on appeals in the area of criminal law, abuse and neglect, and land use.
