WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR THIS OFFICE: I have been honored to serve as your county clerk for the last 12 years. During my leadership, I have brought many innovations to the office. First and foremost, I introduced a management structure. A highly qualified supervisor, motor vehicle, land records, elections and bookkeeping, works hand-in-hand with me on a daily basis to maintain consistently great customer service, accountability and integrity in each department.

I will be diligent in ensuring the staff has the resources and support they need from the Clerk to do their jobs and ensure the office runs efficiently and effectively to serve you. I will be committed to ensuring that we protect the integrity of our elections, and I will be a strong voice for Scott County with the state when it comes to the affairs of our office and elections.

Other innovations I have brought to the clerk’s office over the past decade include: phone-in renewal, debit/credit services, passport services, a customer check-in system, all of which save time, increase productivity and provide customers with more convenience.

Hello, Scott Countians! I’m proud to serve as your Clerk and to be part of such a thriving community. As our county continues to grow, my team and I are committed to adding services and technology that make life easier—while still delivering the “small town” customer service you value. Thank you for your patience as we build and improve our new website to better serve you.
