2023 Republican Candidates

I am profoundly honored to be selected as Ontario County’s Republican and Conservative Party candidate for the Office of County Clerk of Ontario County."  I appreciate their official endorsements to run for such an important administrative post that serves the needs of all residents and businesses throughout the County.

I look forward to an exciting campaign to meet voters and to gain their respect as I know that I am the most qualified and experienced candidate to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the Office of County Clerk. I fully pledge to instill the highest level of conviction in the minds of all constituents that I will work tirelessly and collaboratively on their behalf, to deliver exceptional customer service in a fair, timely and professional manner.

I offer the voters more than 25 years of advancing experience in local government working for the Town of Canandaigua. I also held the position of Town Zoning Officer for the first 16 years of my public service and have now served as Town Clerk for the last 9+ years. These positions allowed me to work with town residents by assisting them with the permitting process, obtaining licenses and ensuring a transparent and seamless government experience. Both offices required the handling of confidential information, excellent oral and written communication, outstanding customer service, leadership, and teamwork. 

I am President of the Ontario County Tax Collectors Association and the Treasurer of the Ontario County Town Clerks Association. I earned my Registered Municipal Clerk (RMC) certification from the NYS Town Clerks Association in 2017.  Since 1975, I have also proudly retained my membership in good standing with the American Legion Post 1430 (Marion NY). I firmly believe in continuing education and belonging to local, state, and national organizations to learn and support all aspects of the office.

I humbly ask for your vote!
