I met Joe Davis in 2012. We met during a difficult time of my life. He immediately (and always) was and is patient, kind and compassionate to me.
He is well-educated, isn’t afraid of to go the extra mile, do the extra research or put in the extra hours. He has a phenomenal memory, remembering details that are important to those around him, even with long stretches of time between.
When given a challenge, he looks at the big picture, noting all the different variables, and quickly, yet carefully, comes up with a plan of action. He isn’t afraid to make tough decisions or actively work through things, yet is sensitive when doing so.
He also volunteers his time in the community providing opportunities for future generations. All of these listed qualities would make him an excellent, fair judge for our community. I know I will be voting for him.

Joe grew up here and earned his law degree degree from the University of Oregon following his graduation from Northwestern University.
