What is the most important job of the county clerk?

The most important job of the county clerk is actually threefold; to serve the public, to serve the county commissioners, and to officiate the elections.

What background or experiences qualify you for this position?

I have worked in the public since I was 13 years old. I have over 11 years experience as a bookkeeper, 12 years as a title clerk, and seven years of insurance experience and two years in the purchasing department at Clovis Community College. I earned my associate’s degree from CCC as well.

What is working at the clerk’s office? What is not working at the clerk’s office?

I don’t believe it’s a question of what is working or not working at the clerk’s office, but who the people believe will work for them. I think the people want someone who is dependable, trustworthy and honest. I think the people want someone that will work efficiently and cordially for them and with them. I believe this is a job I am applying for and the people of this county are the ones who will make that decision.
