The most challenging aspect of serving as the county clerk is balancing legal accuracy, public accessibility, and operational efficiency all while handling high volumes of sensitive information. Clerks operate at the intersection of the judicial system, public records and elections.
I would ensure accuracy, security, and efficiency in managing court records and other public documents by reviewing and implementing standardized data entry procedures and provide access to staff training on legal requirements and document handling. I would also review and streamline workflow procedures and identify and reduce duplications. Cross train staff to be able to handle multiple functions during peak times within the various offices with in the clerk's office.
The steps I would take to maintain transparency and public trust in the administration of elections is to ensure election processes follow state law, communicate proactively by publishing updates, deadlines and public notices. Invite bipartisan oversight and public observation and participation. Maintain clear audit trails and respond promptly and respectfully to public records requests. Decisions should always be nonpartisan and documented.
I would plan to improve customer service and accessibility for residents interacting with the clerk's office by upgrading the clerk's website for clarity and ease of use. Look into the possibility of adding any of the clerk's office services as an online portal that is accessible to all. Look into the possibility of streamlining any in-person services and to clarify any office signage to better serve and direct individuals interacting with the office.
