I am the best candidate for this office because of my experience and knowledge gained during my tenure as Clerk of Court. I bring a lifetime of leadership skills gained from my years of public service in local government and private enterprise.

President Ronald Regan because of his dedicated public service to our Nation. I admire his leadership skills and the longterm results that were derived from his efforts.

If additional revenue becomes available where would you spend it?
In the event additional revenue becomes available, I would increase expeditures in the upgrade of technology to enhance public access to the Official and Court Records. I would also provide additional funding towards more employee training programs.

If revenue falls short, what are the areas you would target for cuts?
If faced with budge cuts, I will have to re-evaluate and reduce current and future capital expenditures within the Clerk's Office.

As Clerk of Court under the Osceola County Charter, our office does not have the ability to increase or decrease taxes. We operate solely on fees.
