Letters to the editor LGO teaser

My wife and I have known and been neighbors with Wes Willams for nearly 25 years. Through the years we have gotten to know Wes and his wife, Jennifer, and found them to be a warm and friendly couple. As their family grew, Wes showed he was a devoted father; we could see that his children reflected his values as they grew to be responsible adults.

We believe that Wes has earned another term as Circuit Court Judge for Union/Wallowa County. He has a great understanding of the law and uses this knowledge to apply rulings that are fair and just, without bias. He is kind and compassionate and is always fully prepared. Whether presiding over trials locally or in neighboring counties, Wes Williams brings the highest principles to his court so that all who come before him receive a fair hearing allowed by law.

For these reasons, we firmly believe that Wes is the right person for the job.
