For the past 28 years, it has been my honor to serve the citizens of Benton County, including the last 16 years as your County Auditor. I am proud to lead an exceptional team of dedicated public servants in the Auditor’s Office divisions of Elections, Recording, Accounting, and Licensing. Together, we remain committed to providing professional, transparent, efficient, and fiscally responsible service to our community. Election integrity and security remain among my highest priorities. Benton County voters deserve elections that are secure, accurate, transparent, and accountable. I remain committed to ensuring every lawful vote is counted accurately and securely. During my term, my team successfully opened the new Benton County Elections Center in collaboration with the Board of County Commissioners. Our office has continued investing in technology and modernization efforts to improve efficiency, security, and public access to services. We are nearing completion of a multi-year effort to digitize and preserve historical county records for future generations. I continue to serve in statewide leadership roles involving election administration and vehicle licensing. I look forward to continuing to serve the citizens of Benton County. Endorsed by the Benton County Republican Party.
