I believe local government works best when it is honest, efficient, and focused on the people it serves. That is why I am running for Jasper County Recorder of Deeds —to protect the integrity of public records, ensure transparency in county government, and deliver dependable service to every citizen.

The Recorder of Deeds office plays a vital role in safeguarding property rights and maintaining accurate public records. This responsibility demands experience, ethics, and steady leadership. I bring all three. Throughout my career, I have worked directly with the public in service‑focused roles that required accuracy, accountability, and respect for the people we serve.

I understand that public office is not about personal gain—it is about stewardship. My background in management has prepared me to lead with fairness, match people’s skills with their responsibilities, and hold myself and others to high standards. Customer service, professionalism, and integrity have guided every position I’ve held, and they will guide me as Recorder of Deeds.

With more than four decades of experience in funeral service, retail, and service with the State of Missouri, I have developed a strong appreciation for both compassion and efficiency in public service. These experiences have shaped my belief that government should be accessible, responsive, and run with common sense.

If elected, I will ensure a smooth and responsible transition in the Recorder of Deeds office while maintaining the high standards Jasper County residents expect and deserve. I am committed to preserving accurate records, operating with transparency, and treating every citizen with respect, just as the Recorder of Deed’s office is currently being operated.

Jasper County deserves a Recorder of Deeds who is qualified, prepared, and dedicated to serving the public—not politics. I am ready to do that work.

I also want to say how meaningful it is to be running for office in 2026—America’s 250th birthday. Thank you to each of you who served and defended our freedom, helping keep the United States strong and free.

So, with your support and vote on August 4 ^th we can do just that by electing me as your next Jasper County Recorder of Deeds.

Thank you and may God Bless each one of you.
