Other facts

H.I.N.T. - Honesty, Integrity, Nonpartisanship, Transparency. These are the values and ideals that I will bring to the office of Waukesha County Clerk. My experience in accounting, along with credible organizational skills, provide the background needed to run an efficient office. I will bring transparent and secure organizational structure to the office of County Clerk. Efficient recording of county business should negate any effects of partisan politics. I will be nonpartisan when it comes to managing the office of County Clerk. There are two main reasons I decided to run for this office. First I was dismayed by the apparent lack of transparency and inattentive practices being displayed by the current county clerk. I have lost confidence that the election vote counting process is accurate. The second reason is my desire to bring the idea of public service back into this government office. I want to serve the public in this important county position - bringing Honesty, Integrity, Nonpartisanship and Transparency to the Waukesha County Clerk office.
