The Right Choice for
Fresno County Judge

Born and raised in the Central Valley, Ashley comes from a family of small business owners who instilled in her the values of hard work, community, and accountability. One of her grandfathers served in the United States Navy; another grandfather served in the United States Air Force. Her husband serves the Fresno community as an Officer with the Fresno Police Department. Ashley and her husband are raising their young children here — because this is home. 

Ashley spent a decade at the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office, where she prosecuted the most serious and complex crimes facing our community — gang-related homicides, human trafficking, and other violent crimes. She served on the Officer Involved Shooting Team, participated and led wire investigations and grand jury proceedings, and tried numerous jury trials to verdict. In 2019, she was honored with the Courageous Prosecutor of the Year Award for her work on the Violent Crime Unit. Throughout her time at the Fresno District Attorney’s Office, Ashley served on the following teams: misdemeanors, juvenile, general felony preliminary hearing team, gentle felony trial team, the Violent Crime Unit, Domestic Violence, the Multi Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium (MAGEC), and the Officer Involved Shooting Team. From 2020-2025 Ashley was a Senior Deputy District Attorney. In additional to the complex gang related cases, Ashley has prosecuted cases involving driving under the influence, domestic violence, sexual assault, pimping and pandering, home invasion robberies, car jacking, residential burglaries, assault with deadly weapon, assault with a firearm, assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury, narcotics offenses, torture, false imprisonment, stalking, amongst other types of cases. 

In 2025, Ashley joined the Fresno City Attorney’s Office. Ashley is a Chief Assistant City Attorney and Chief Prosecuting Attorney, where she now leads the criminal prosecution team — mentoring, training, and supervising the next generation of prosecutors. Ashley brought her courtroom experience to this leadership role deliberately: she wanted to give back to the profession and strengthen the team that serves the people of Fresno. Her career now reflects not only mastery of complex criminal litigation, but executive leadership and supervisory experience that few candidates at any level can match.
Ashley holds the Criminal Law Specialist certification through the California State Bar. She currently serves as President of the Fresno County Women Lawyers Association and is a proud member of the Cowboy Lawyers Association and the Fresno County Bar Association.

Ashley has earned the endorsement of law enforcement associations, Fresno County Superior Court judges, and community leaders who know her record and trust her judgment — not through politics, but through the work she has done.

Ashley is running for judge because the Central Valley and Fresno are her community — and she has spent every year of her legal career fighting for it.
