Dear Editor:

It is with great pleasure and confidence that I am writing this letter of support for Mr. Jack Birch for the Judge of the Circuit Court of Kosciusko County. I have known Mr. Birch for more than 20 years, and I have always been impressed with his character and the professional work ethic he displays.

Mr. Birch has been a great asset to Kosciusko County operating his private law firm and volunteering for many boards and appointments serving the citizens of Kosciusko County for the past 30 years. Through these experiences, Mr. Birch exhibited knowledge and commitment to the citizens of Kosciusko County.

I currently interact with Mr. Birch frequently in his role as city attorney for the city of Ligonier. As city attorney, Mr. Birch has always demonstrated positive communication skills with city personnel and citizens. His presence and knowledge during meetings have helped the city of Ligonier succeed.

Mr. Birch has achieved a high standing in his profession and has accomplished many things. Mr. Birch will serve as judge with dignity and respect for the law. I know for a fact that the citizens will be well represented and respected by Mr. Birch.

As a law enforcement professional for the past 30 years, I highly recommend Mr. Jack Birch as the next circuit court Judge of Kosciusko County. I am also very confident that Mr. Birch will continue to work and support Kosciusko County Law Enforcement as they have worked together during his professional career.

Sincerely,
Brian K. Shearer
Chief of Police/Public Safety Director
City of Ligonier
