Benton County Clerk

I have lived in Benton County for 40 years. I currently live in Richland with my husband, Jerome. I am honored to have been the County Clerk for the past 20 years. Prior to becoming the Clerk, I worked in Benton County District Court for 17 years. Over the past 4 years the clerks office has seen significant changes. We have secured a new office space on the 2nd floor of the Justice Center that allows us to better serve the public and affords privacy to the public when dealing with your cases. We have a larger jury assembly room that allows ease of access to potential jurors. I have upgraded the jury system, allowing electronic response by jurors. Our office now allows electronic filing of documents. We have securely digitized all of the superior court case paper documents and continue to audit for completeness and accuracy. We are currently working to digitize historical documents from microfilm. Our office continues to process hundreds of passport applications each year between our Prosser and Kennewick offices. I am excited to continue to serve in the capacity of County Clerk.
