Letter: Vote Judge Joe Burrowes for Superior Court

There are some professionals who are fortunate to find their niche in life where they truly excel. Joe Burrowes is one such person.

I have had the privilege of working with Joe for the past 12 years at Benton County District Court. Joe has a passion for justice that shines through in his courtroom. Every case that comes before him is treated with the individual attention that it deserves. He tempers his decisions with fairness and a thorough respect for the law. People in Joe’s courtroom are treated as members of society with lives and families, not just case numbers.

His extensive proficiency on the bench would make him an exceptional Superior Court judge. He has the skills that would easily transfer from District Court to Superior Court. Whether dispensing justice on a misdemeanor or a felony, the candidate with countless hours of experience on the bench is Joe Burrowes. There is simply no substitute for actual judicial experience.

Join me in voting for the best man for the job: Joe Burrowes is the superior candidate for Superior Court Judge!
