A stronger office for a growing Polk County—built through present leadership, prepared people, protected records, and trusted service.
The County Clerk's Office touches important moments in people's lives, protects the county's history, supports the courts, and administers elections. Margie's priorities begin with a simple commitment: serve people well today while preparing responsibly for tomorrow.
The County Clerk should be visible, accessible, and actively involved in the office. Margie will lead with open communication, clear expectations, accountability, respect, and teamwork—while remaining available to employees and citizens.
Cross-training helps the office continue serving citizens when employees are absent, workloads increase, or unexpected situations arise. Margie will support consistent procedures, continuing education, and opportunities for employees to strengthen their knowledge throughout the office.
Severe weather, power failures, internet outages, equipment problems, and other emergencies should not bring essential services to a halt. Margie will work with county departments and community partners to develop clear backup procedures for Clerk's Office operations and elections.
As Polk County grows, its records, elections, storage, staffing, security, and technology needs will grow with it. Margie will plan ahead instead of waiting until the office runs out of space or resources.
The County Clerk is responsible for preserving records that belong to the people of Polk County. Margie will support secure recordkeeping, responsible online access, dependable technology, and continued protection of historical and vital records.
Every eligible voter should have confidence that elections are administered securely, accurately, professionally, and without favoritism. Margie will support trained election workers, tested equipment, careful reconciliation, clear public information, and compliance with election law.
Experienced inside the office. Prepared to lead on day one. Committed to serving every citizen of Polk County with fairness and respect.
