Letter: Burrowes caring, compassionate

I have known Joe Burrowes for over 30 years. I have seen his career evolve from being a Hanford patrolman to working his way through college and law school and becoming a Benton County District Court judge.

Judge Joe Burrowes has over 12 years of judicial experience, and seven of those years as an elected District Court judge in Benton County. I have sat in his courtroom and watched him give careful consideration to the cases before him. Joe is a caring and compassionate person who truly cares about the people who come before him as a judge. If you want to see a class act, go sit in the courtroom and watch Judge Joe Burrowes as he presides over a case.

I fully support Joe as a Superior Court Judge and know that he will work hard to uphold the law. Judge Joe Burrowes is well qualified with a background in law enforcement and proven judicial experience.
