Rhea’s father, the Honorable Raymond S. Clift, Jr., served as a Germantown Municipal Judge for 40 years until his resignation due to health reasons in 2020. She’s running for judge to use over 30 years’ experience as a local prosecutor to keep Germantown families safe. Rhea plans to continue her father’s tradition of service to Germantown.

Rhea is fair. She listens to both sides. In her role as a prosecutor, Rhea consults with the victims of crime to ensure their voices are heard. She has the experience and wisdom Germantown needs on the bench.
