KEY ISSUES:

PREVENTING JUVENILE ISSUES BEFORE THEY ESCALATE

Focus on early intervention for truancy, at-risk youth, and family instability. Work with schools, law enforcement, and community partners to promote mentorship, accountability, and family support programs that steer young people away from the court system. Judge Waggoner believes prevention and guidance are far more effective than punishment and wants to help families find solutions before problems grow.

COLLABORATION ON MENTAL HEALTH AND PUBLIC SAFTY

Strengthen coordination between law enforcement, EMS, and mental-health professionals to ensure those in crisis receive appropriate care while maintaining public safety. Judge Waggoner supports a unified approach that connects individuals to resources and treatment instead of allowing repeat encounters with the justice system.

MODERNIZING AND STREAMLINING THE JP COURT

Make the court more efficient, digital-friendly, and accessible for Montgomery County residents. Expand online services, reduce backlogs and wait times, and improve communication so residents can resolve matters quickly and fairly. Judge Waggoner is committed to using innovation to create a court that is responsive, transparent, and easy for the public to navigate.
