Efficiency and Accountability

Our local gov­ern­ment must empha­size two key prin­ci­ples: max­i­mum effi­ciency and max­i­mum account­abil­ity. Accordingly, the Greene County sys­tem should be con­sci­en­tiously stream­lined. We must care­fully research inno­v­a­tive strate­gies that will best serve the needs of our county. As the elec­tion author­ity for Greene County , the County Clerk must ensure that all elec­tions are thor­oughly and prop­erly con­ducted, and that the fewest pos­si­ble incon­ve­niences are placed on reg­is­tered voters.

The County Clerk must at all times seek to func­tion as a non-partisan while serv­ing as a liai­son between mul­ti­ple branches of our county. The County Clerkship is not a posi­tion of par­ti­san pol­i­cy­mak­ing, but is instead designed to coor­di­nate the poli­cies of the peo­ple with effi­cient ease. Accountability is vital to the main­te­nance of our community-conscience gov­ern­ment. The man­age­ment of our records should be con­ducted in an orga­nized man­ner that is read­ily acces­si­ble to the local citizen.

As a woman of Springfield , I hold these prin­ci­ples of effi­ciency and account­abil­ity in the fore­front of my mind when I serve our com­mu­nity in my daily life. Only with the involve­ment of an informed com­mu­nity can we achieve the Greene County that serves as a haven for our fam­i­lies, our endeav­ors, and ourselves.
