Office Sought
Cassia County Clerk
I believe the county’s two most important challenges are responsible budgeting and protecting election integrity.
First, our budget must meet the essential needs of county operations while adapting to ongoing financial constraints. My commitment is to ensure we continue delivering reliable public services without disruption. I will operate fully within Idaho statutes and laws, stay engaged and accessible, and listen closely to the community. Second, maintaining fair and impartial elections requires strong, consistent anti‑fraud measures. Our office will continue to follow the election laws outlined in Title 34 and the directions of the Secretary of State. We will uphold strict verification of voter registration and identification, along with several other safeguards. I stand strong on accuracy, integrity, and transparency. These are your records, your rights, and my priority. (The opinions are my opinions and not the opinions of Cassia County).
In my 18 years of service, I have direct, hands-on experience in the Clerk's office. I've worked in every division, understand the legal requirements, and have already been trusted with leadership as Chief Deputy Clerk. I also have the full endorsement and support of Clerk, Jospeh W. Larsen, who knows the job better than anyone. As Clerk of the District Court, Idaho Code § 31-3107, allows elected officials to appoint deputies as the business of their offices may require. The Clerk's office will continue to maintain accuracy, integrity, and transparency if I am elected Clerk. (The opinions are my opinions and not the opinions of Cassia County).
Staying connected isn’t a campaign promise — it’s the foundation of effective public service. My commitment is to remain accessible, transparent, and deeply rooted in the day‑to‑day experiences of our community. My promise is simple: I will show up, I will listen, and I will never stop listening to the people I serve. You deserve a Clerk who is present, accountable, and always within reach — and that is the standard I intend to uphold every single day. (The opinions are my opinions and not the opinions of Cassia County).
