Why am I running for office?
I choose to run for the office of Elbert County Clerk & Recorder because I love this county and feel that employing the experiance and skills I have gained to lead this office into the future is the best way I can serve our citizens.
What are the duties of the Clerk & Recorder?
Each Clerk and Recorder's Office is responsible for issuing and recording marriage licenses, recording all real estate transactions, issuing liquor licenses, registering voters, conducting all primary, general and county elections, and, when contracted, municipal and school district elections. The Clerk and Recorder's Office also operates the Motor Vehicle Divisions in the State of Colorado for titling vehicles and issuing license plates.
HONESTY & INTEGRITY
As your next Clerk & Recorder, I pledge continued transparency in all office activities. Trust and understanding is critical in public service. During my campaign I will be completely open in regard to who contributes to my campaign. You can find all required campaign financial filings on the Secretary of State's TRACER website.
PROFESSIONALISM
I follow Lou Hotz's "Do Right" rule in all I do - "Do the right thing, do your very best, and show people you care." As you Elections Manager, I have ensured that regardless of the obstacles, each legally cast vote has been accurately counted and our local elections can be trusted.
LEADERSHIP
No matter what the task, clerk, elections, recording, or DMV, it is our people that get the job done. I am proud to work with each member of the Clerk & Recorder's team and look forward to taking the role of servant-leader. I will ensure they have the resources, training, and support needed to serve all our citizens.
