The McCracken County Clerk’s Office is sharing the process behind carrying out elections and encouraging participation in the May 19 primary.

Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with our elections, gaining hands-on experience and a deeper appreciation for the process. This week marked a special milestone for me — for the first time, I led a poll pad training class on my own. It was both exciting and rewarding to step into that role and help prepare others for Election Day.

I also want to take a moment to recognize and thank all of our dedicated poll workers. Your willingness to volunteer your time year after year is what keeps our elections running smoothly, and our Clerk’s Office truly appreciates your commitment to serving our community.

I’m grateful for the knowledge and experience I continue to gain, and I hope to carry that with me as I move forward in my journey — especially if given the honor of serving as your next Ballard County Clerk!

They’re here!!! 💚

I spent the evening out across Ballard County putting up a few of my campaign signs and talking to people. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited (and grateful) I am for this moment. Every sign represents the support, encouragement, and belief this community has already shown me—and I don’t take that lightly.

As we head toward the May election, I want to remind everyone of one simple thing: experience matters. I’ve dedicated the last few years to serving in the McCracken clerk’s office and working in elections, and I’m ready to continue that work for all of Ballard County.

If you see a sign, snap a picture, share it, and help spread the word! Most importantly—make a plan to vote in May.

Thank you all for your continued support. Let’s keep moving forward together! 💚

Hey everyone 💛

I just wanted to hop on here and say hello to all my friends, family, and supporters. As many of you know, I’m running for Ballard County Clerk, and I truly can’t thank you enough for the encouragement and kind words so many of you have already shared.

It also feels like we’ve finally made it through the winter — and here comes SPRING! 🌷 I don’t know about y’all, but I’m ready for longer days, warmer weather, and getting outside a little more.

If you know me, you know I’m not one to brag about myself or post campaign talk over and over again. That’s just not who I am. I believe in putting my head down, working hard, and letting that work speak for itself.

My heart behind this campaign is simple — I want to run the Clerk’s Office the very best I can, with Ballard County always as the top priority. Serving this community would truly mean everything to me. It’s where I’m raising my family, and I care deeply about the people who call it home.

On a side note — I’ll be putting out signs soon! If you’d like one, just shoot me a message 😊

Thank you all again for your continued support, prayers, and encouragement. It means more than you know. 💙

Now that the filing deadline has passed, I’m excited and grateful to share that I will officially be on the ballot for Ballard County Clerk on May 19th.

Thank you to everyone who has shown continuous love, prayers, and support throughout this journey. I truly believe God has a plan, and I’m thankful for this amazing community standing beside me.

I would be honored to have your support on Election Day—please remember to vote on May 19th.

Important dates! Don’t forget, if you are planning to vote in May, this is a closed party Primary. This means if the candidate your voting for is Republican and you are a democrat, you need to change your party affiliation to republican before December 31st!

Please share!

It is so important to talk with today’s youth about the clerks office, and how it works. Our young people are the future of our communities, and helping them understand the responsibilities, services, and day-to-day operations of the clerks office, gives them a clearer picture of how local government truly functions.
When we take the time to explain how records are kept, how elections are supported, and how the office serves the public, we’re not just sharing information. We are building, trust, transparency, and leadership in the next generation.
By including youth, in these conversations, we empower them to stay engaged, to ask questions, and to someday take an active role in their own local government. It is an investment in our communities future, and it starts with simple, honest conversations today.
