As a Christ-centered man, I believe Mark 10:44 gives elected officials guidance that is not currently followed: “And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.” Servant leadership is what I will bring to the Clerks office.

We have more than sufficient government and the people need to be represented. When people get played by not informing the people of a vote or the consequences of a vote, my office will inform the people for full engagement and transparency.

I have more than a high school education and have managed budgets of more than a million dollars a day. I have successfully managed more than 40 highly-skilled people on very complex projects.
Transparency The poverty rate is the highest in the State of Wyoming. Double the nation average!

When you have to take legal action to obtain PUBLIC records, that is the epitome of non-transparent. When the Judge rules that the Clerk’s office erred when refusing to release the public record, there should be a consequences for that error! Elections have consequences.

I will make the County Transparent by releasing all Public Records when requested.

Election Integrity Under my administration we will follow the Law!

Fiscal Responsibility County Funds will not be used to manipulate votes to increase taxes. County funds will not be used to pay dues to organizations that lobby against the interest of the tax payers.
By following the Law! The Clerks office failed to calibrate the voting machines correctly. The Calibration Deck must have variance. After proper calibration of the voting machines, the keys for the machines shall be sealed in an envelope and signed by the Clerk, a Republican, and a Democrat. The envelope will not be opened and the machines will remain sealed until after the election voting is complete and polls are closed. These requirements are found in 22-10-108 through 109 with intent.

The results of the early and absentee votes will be released as soon as possible.

If you are on the ballot for any office other than Precinct Man or Women you will not be allowed to be an Election Judge. As the current Law at SOS rule H.2 requires.
Social media and Transparency. I will promote information to ensure the public is aware of any planned increase of government spending. There are numerous emails from the State that inform the public about legislation, these can be posted on the County web site. The County Commissioners Agenda will be published so that the people get constructive notice of actions of the County, a required duty of the Clerk. People have the right to know how their tax dollars are going to be spent, the adverse and beneficial impacts of any projects being planned and voted on, and the Environmental process. Understanding of the use, by age groups, to target Social Media sites for public dissemination of information will be a priority.

I’m running for re-election as County Clerk because I truly believe in the work I do and in providing vital public services to all citizens in our community. As County Clerk I will continue working to ensure public confidence in and the security of our elections, providing the public with knowledgeable and competent service, and pledge to keep working with all of our Elected Officials to keep Albany County fiscally responsible. I have nearly 19 years of experience in the County Clerk’s office and will never ask my staff to do something I would not do myself. I take the trust voters have placed in me seriously and if re-elected I will continue working every day to ensure that trust is not misplaced.
My first priority is that our Albany County elections remain secure, accurate, and transparent. I will do that by continuing to adhere to Wyoming’s election laws and regulations, utilizing only State authorized processes and equipment, and maintaining transparent processes at every step. My second priority is to provide consistent, reliable, trustworthy, and accurate service to the public in all interactions and transactions undertaken in and by my office. My third priority is maintaining the accessibility of public records with our streamlined request process and working to create and establish a database of all answered public records requests that will then be available to the public.
I remain committed to integrity and transparency in our elections. Providing correct information and public education is the best way to combat the insidious mis/disinformation being used to undermine public confidence and trust in elections. I will continue making election information accessible through the county website. We also encourage public involvement with our “Fun Fact Fridays” and the other election information published on our Facebook page. New for this year, the public will be able to view a 24/7 livestream of the election dropbox during each 28-day period it is available. I will continue my goal of making elections better in Albany County through ongoing collaboration with my bipartisan election working group.
Disseminating understandable legislative information is difficult but I continuously work to identify and utilize numerous resources to reach the widest range of Albany County residents. I will continue to conduct several town hall meetings after each legislative session and send physical mailers to our residents. We have also included information with County property tax statements as an additional cost-effective outreach. Utilization of the County website and social media to get information to the public has proven to be a great way to reach larger audiences at no cost to the taxpayer. I also reach out to local media and speak with as many local groups as possible. All of which is to provide updated information and answer any questions.
