TRANSPARENCY EFFICIENCY ACCURACY

Setting the Record Straight

In the current political climate, the headlines are full of sensational material to grab the attention of voters.  It is difficult to separate fact from fiction and get a real sense of the truth.  

On this page, it's my goal to set the record straight of my opponent’s misstatements and lack of understanding of the Clerk’s position. 

​I will update any future incorrect information here.

My goal as Clerk is to protect you, the taxpayer.  By increasing efficiency and accuracy, the Clerk's budget has been on a downward trend with the end result of saving you money!
​-The Clerk's budget shows a downward trend of 14.5% decrease since Fiscal Year 2015.
-The overall Clerk's Division budget has decreased over time, even with greater service demand and the Odyssey software implementation mandated by the Idaho State Supreme Court in 2018.
