My key priority is to modernize the Clerk's office. Many records from before 1970 have not been digitized, and so we are losing our history. There are multiple nonprofits available to digitize our history at minimal cost to the taxpayers.
I have taught statistics for over a decade, and so I am very familiar with the tools needed to do the job. I was also a District Executive for Scouting America, and I managed 70 units with 500 volunteers serving 1400 youth.
I would protect elections by educating people on the current rules. I would also hold regular office hours in all of the offices around the county so constituents can come and ask questions. Multiple media channels would inform the public how to make sure that their vote is counted.
