Letter: Judge Joe Burrowes is the right choice
The first thing that struck us about Joe Burrowes was his commitment — to his family, to the law, to young people and to his country.
Joe Burrowes is a man of integrity. This is reflected in all that he does. He lives by a code of conduct grounded in a straightforward honesty that is truly refreshing in this day and age. We have found him to be tireless in his efforts to make the law work as it should, for everyone.
Joe Burrowes works long hours in his courtroom but still finds time to regularly work with young people, teaching them how the law and the legal system work. The interaction reinforces an inherent optimism that informs his vision for the future.
As a former military family, we truly appreciate that he always takes the time to honor the service of those veterans, and their families, that he encounters.
Joe Burrowes is a tireless, skillful man of the law, but just as importantly, he is a man who makes our community a better place to live by his actions.
These are the reasons your vote will make a difference for our community.
Jim Odermann and Janice Johnson, Richland
