Letter: Vote Judge Joe Burrowes for Superior Court
In my 27 years in the criminal justice system, I have worked in many capacities with judges and attorneys. Having worked from an entry-level clerk to the elected county clerk has given me an insight that few can claim. I have witnessed judges’ and attorneys’ work product and demeanor in the courtroom and when they are not in the public eye. Without a doubt, I know that Judge Joe Burrowes is the best candidate for Superior Court judge, position 2.
Judge Joe truly cares about the system and the law. Joe’s rulings follow the law, that is what a judge is supposed to do. I have spoken to people who have appeared before Judge Joe in his courtroom who have stated they felt like they were heard and were treated fairly. Judge Joe is the only candidate who has the hands-on experience of making the daily decisions that affect people’s lives.
Joe and his wife, Sue, are also deeply involved in this community. Please join my family and I in voting for Judge Joe Burrowes, Superior Court, Position 2.
Josie Delvin, Benton County Superior Court Clerk, Richland
