Statement
The judicial system must hear and serve the people who come before it.This candidate has not submitted a statement.

In the late 1800’s Ms. Dixie Grossman's great grandparents settled in North Dakota claiming farmland as part of the Homestead Act. Over the years they grew wheat, ranched, auctioned, and created small businesses. She was born close to her family farm in Williston, North Dakota in 1975 and moved to Billings, Montana when she was five. In 1977 her father moved to Alaska to work on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline leaving her mother to raise her sister and her. Over the years her mother worked a variety of jobs including cleaning homes, selling produce and driving sugar beet trucks during harvest season. Her mother always stressed the value of hard work and the importance of education. Although she worked a number of jobs in high school and participated in team sports and extracurricular activities, her mom ensured that nothing distracted from the goal of having her be the first in her family to graduate college. After high-school she attended the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana for her undergraduate degree and then went on to the University of Montana School of Law. Following graduation, she and her husband married and moved to Reno, Nevada. This allowed her to pursue my career in family law. Between 2001 and 2005, she served as a law clerk to judges Deborah Schumacher, Charles McGee, and Frances Doherty of the Second Judicial District Court, Family Division. After the birth of her son in 2005, she left the Family Court and began working in private practice at the law offices of Fahrendorf, Viloria, Oliphant & Oster LLP and later with Silverman, Decaria & Kattelman Chtd. She was fortunate to have colleagues who mentored her and shared her passion for family law and the values of hard work and integrity. In 2013, she was appointed to the bench as a Court Master with the Second Judicial District Court, Family Division. Each year she presides over thousands of hearings. Although she handles primarily juvenile delinquency matters, she also presides over child support, temporary and extended orders of protection, adult guardianship, child abuse and neglect, and other general family law matters. She and her family call Nevada home. She am deeply committed to this community, public service, and ensuring that the judicial system hears and serves the people who come before it.
