This November, voters will have the opportunity to retain a wonderful and dedicated public servant who has served the community with distinction.

I have had the privilege of working with Joan White since she was first elected County Clerk, and have been impressed with her experience, wealth of knowledge, work ethic, compassion and her devotion to the citizens of the community.

In her eight years as county clerk, Joan has helped increase public access to the Superior Court, made it more user-friendly, and improved the security of and accessibility to our public records.

For lawyers, litigants and others trying to navigate the court system, Joan’s positive attitude and “How can we help you?” goes a long way.

I urge you to re-elect Joan White for County Clerk.
