Letter: Support Joe Davis for Circuit Court Judge

April 23, 2024

I recommend Joe Davis for Jackson County Circuit Court Judge (1st District, Seat 5). He is a highly experienced, competent and fair judge. He is deeply committed to the well-being of all communities of Jackson County.

Joe grew up here and earned his law degree degree from the University of Oregon following his graduation from Northwestern University. With a quarter century of law practice handling a wide variety of cases, Joe is well-positioned to address the diverse range of matters that emerge in our county. He is a judge pro tempore for the Jackson County Court system.

In addition to his competence, I greatly admire his integrity, commitment to equity and patience while ensuring that cases move through the system in a timely fashion. Joeā€™s love of our region is seen in the scope of his community service as a volunteer leader on area boards such as the Medford YMCA, the Alba Exchange Program, Living Opportunities, and the Center for Non-Profit Legal Services.

His devotion to youth development is revealed in his service as a judge for local, regional and high school debate contests. Among Joeā€™s core interests are reducing drug and alcohol addiction and mental illness to enhance peopleā€™s health, productivity, and quality of life. We would be well-served to have Joe at our countyā€™s Circuit Court bench.Ā
