I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t imagine a fairer or more decent judge. In fact, Judge Arrowood has been endorsed by virtually every organization and newspaper that has endorsed in this race. His hard work and fairness have won the respect of Democrats and Republicans alike.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIf he wins, Arrowood will become the first openly gay person to be elected to statewide office in the South.
