For Pierson

As the current Flathead County Clerk & Recorder / Surveyor / Auditor & Election Administrator, I’m well aware of the challenges in providing good governance to Flathead County taxpayers. For the past decade, I have managed the diverse and complex functions of the elected office I hold.

Under the Montana Constitution and statutory laws, the Flathead County Clerk has been given four distinct titles. The four titles are comprised of five departments: Recording, Plat Room / Surveyor, Election, Records Center, and Auditor. The five departments are staffed by 16 employees and have an annual budget of more than $2.4 million.

It goes without saying that the office requires competent and dedicated individuals with current technical, management and organizational skills necessary for administering the elected office.

I have worked with all three primary election candidates, and hands down I believe that Debbie Pierson is the only candidate who has both the strategic vision and working knowledge necessary for this position.

On June 3, my vote will be confidently cast for Debbie Pierson for Flathead County Clerk & Recorder.
