The position of clerk of court is being treated as a political reward for past political service by both parties.
The candidate should be judged on the dignity and integrity that are required of the position.
Few citizens have had an occasion to visit this office or have any idea of its varied functions. The records of all of our personal legal transactions are retained for years to come. One of the most important is the recording of our property rights.
The clerk must have a well-trained staff, free of any political payoff. This office is too sacred for political payoffs. Candidates should be carefully scrutinized for their past experience in business operations and personal responsibility.
Select your candidate without consideration of party affiliation.
