A MESSAGE FROM ARITA
"Born an Army brat, I learned early a deep love of my country and the importance of it’s protection. A victim of childhood sexual abuse, I found strength and protection in the law and our legal system. Those experiences have led me to have a life dedicated to advocacy.
​
Being your elected advocate is a natural progression of my desire to serve my country and fellow citizens.
I have been honored by the military for donating my time to public speaking, where I spoke about my experiences; I have been honored by the Louisiana Supreme Court when asked to not only serve on the Disciplinary Committee but to act as a chairman. I have been honored by the Louisiana Bar when being asked to participate in teaching other lawyers as well as being featured in their video about ethics and professionalism. I have been honored to serve as a Kenner Magistrate Judge. I have been honored to have two amazing sons call me mom and an incredible husband of 25 years call me his wife.
​
Now I ask for the honor of your vote.
​
This is a request I do not ask for lightly. I appreciate what a wonderful district we have but also understand how difficult it is to manage at the same time. I am uniquely qualified to resolve these issues fairly, but firmly.
Please feel free to reach out to me or email me if you have questions about me or my campaign that I can answer."
