Why I Am Running While
earning the rank of Eagle Scout many years ago, I permanently had
instilled in me the desire to serve others.
My motivation to serve as
Vanderburgh County Clerk is to ensure we have clean and smooth
elections. If elected County
Clerk, I will vigorously fight voter fraud and actively promote our new
Vote Centers. I will also
look for efficiencies in the court system that will provide convenience
to the users and a cost savings to the taxpayer.
I think I have the organization and communication skills,
attention to detail, character and leadership to successfully perform
the duties of County Clerk.
I envision also teaching others who want to know about how county
government works and would be available to answer questions about
elections or the court system.
