Seamless Transition
- To some, a "SEAMLESS TRANSITION" is just a political buzzword.
- To me, with 25 years of hands-on experience in the Treasurer’s Office, it is a daily, high-stakes reality.
- It means zero learning curve and zero disruption to the vital services our county relies on every single day.
My goal here is to give verifiable information-to help you understand more-hoping some do not vote solely based on opinionated misleading information.
Direct Knowledge
Why This Matters—
To elect an untrained individual to lead a fiscal office over a candidate with 25 years of direct experience introduces significant operational risks.
For example, if you do not know how to handle 54-entity distributions/reporting-alongside all other releases and core duties, vital funds will not get paid on time-and all other core duties will suffer as well. If state files/remittance aren’t correct or timely, the county faces repercussions. If employee drawers aren't balanced daily, taxpayer money goes missing.
Experience isn't just about sitting in a chair for 25 years. It is about knowing the precise mechanics of this office so well that the public never has to worry about their money.
Stability
* Guaranteed stability: The current staff knows my capabilities, and I can ensure retainage, avoiding a possible catastrophic loss of knowledge. Relying upon others to handle job duties for you as you try to learn-is most certainly a very risky and unwise thing to do.
My opponent seems to be creating possible confusion, that I would like to address.
Audits and the Facts
* Proven Financial Health: Lincoln County has an excellent audit record. The proof isn't a political opinion; it is documented in black and white within the financial audits. Anyone who truly wants to understand the fiscal standing needs to read them—or simply ask (if they are considered too complex-which perhaps to most they may be).
* The July Public Meeting: To eliminate confusion that surfaced, a public meeting was held right here in Lincoln County in early July. The county’s auditor went over details of the latest/and prior audits with absolute transparency.
* No Questions Asked: The opposing candidate was present in that room. When the auditor finished the detailed presentation and explicitly asked if anyone had questions or needed additional clarification, she stayed silent. No questions were asked. No concerns were raised.
* Possible Intentional Misinformation: Despite being given the verified facts by the auditor in a public meeting, my opponent continues to (what I view as) mislead others. I was directly asked “tell me about the audits” 2 days ago (today is 8/9/26).
Lincoln County’s audits are public and located on the county website.
I stand by the facts, while my opponent possibly stands by a narrative of her own instead of the verifiable evidence I feel she’s been given.
