​

As your current El Paso County Clerk and Recorder, I am proud of the innovation, transparency, and responsiveness we've brought to this office over the past four years.  From day one, i've been committed to listening to the needs of our residents, implementing meaningful reforms, and leading a team that works hard every day to serve the people of El Paso County with integrity and excellence.

 

As I seek re-election, I'm not running on promises, I'm running on results, and a bold vision to continue building on them.

 

Protecting the Right to Vote:

Voting is one of our most sacred rights, and it's a right that must be protected, promoted, and practiced.

 

Under my leadership:

• El Paso County became the first in Colorado to livestream ballot drop box security cameras across all 44 locations.

• We launched the state's first credit-based voter roll verification system, enhancing the accuracy and integrity of our registration lists, and reduced undeliverable ballots by 350%.

• We created a real-time GIS-based public dashboard to provide voters full transparency into registration and turnout data.

• We introduced a Ballot Verifier tool that allows voters to confirm whether their ballot was received, verified, and counted, giving every citizen direct insight into their vote's status.

I will continue to prioritize fair, secure, and transparent elections that uphold voter confidence and trust.

 

Restoring Trust Through Transparency:

Public trust must be earned, and sustained, through action.  My plan includes:

• Open Government Tools: Expanding access to public data and election infrastructure.  With tools like the Ballot Verifier, GIS election dashboards, and live ballot drop box monitoring, we give citizens the tools they need to verify our work firsthand.

• Transparency Protections: Advocating for strong local and statewide transparency laws to ensure open government reforms are permanent, not temporary.

• Collaborative Leadership: Building partnerships with citizens, community leaders, and other elected officials to make collective, informed decisions.

​

Driving Government Efficiency and Innovation:

The Clerk & Recorder's Office is one of the busiest in the state, handling hundreds of thousands of transactions each year.  I'm committed to:

• Eliminating redundancy and reducing costs without sacrificing service.

• Implementing procedural and statistical audits to identify areas for improvement.

• Expanding job-share opportunities across county offices to improve staffing flexibility without increasing budgets.

• Delivering smarter services in Motor Vehicle, Recording, and Clerk to the Board through technology, process improvements,and customer-first policies.

​

Modernizing the Clerk & Recorder Website:

A modern government must have modern tools.  I will continue enhancing our website across all divisions to make services faster, clearer, and more accessible.

 

Supporting Seniors and Veterans:

I've been a vocal advocate for strengthening the Senior Homestead and Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption programs.  While these programs are not managed by the Clerk's Office, I will continue to work as a Commissioner on the Commission for Aging to work with state leaders to push for fair, long-overdue reforms.  As an elected representative of El Paso County, I will always fight for those who served and those who built our communities.

 

Committed to a Higher Standard:

I am not satisfied with "business as usual."  I believe in bold ideas, strong partnerships, and treating residents like customers, not case numbers.  My pledge is simple: to serve with transparency, accountability, and integrity, just as I have since day one.

 

With your continued support, I will lead the Clerk & Recorder's Office to even greater heights, ensuring El Paso County remains a model of public trust and service in Colorado and beyond.
