Benton County commissioners should select a new District Court judge during next Monday's meeting at the county courthouse in Prosser.

A panel winnowed the field of 13 candidates who applied to three: Benton County Prosecutor Ryan Brown, Benton County Court Commissioner Joe Burrows and former part-time County Court Commissioner Katie Butler.

On Monday, the three candidates should each deliver a five-minute speech to the commissioners, who will then ask each candidate questions for about five minutes.

The commissioners expect to name a new judge after the interviews Monday.
