WHAT MAKES YOU THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THIS OFFICE?

I have been employed and served as the court appointed Deputy Public Administrator for Cape Girardeau County since January 2003. Over the past nine plus years, I have become knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of the duties and responsibilities of the Public Administrator. No other candidate possesses these same qualifications.

WHY ARE YOU SEEKING THIS SEAT IN SUCH A CROWDED FIELD?

Upon the retirement announcement of the current Public Administrator, I made the decision to seek this office in order to provide a smooth transition for the wards, the agencies involved and the County. I believe that my experience over the past nine years makes me stand out as the most qualified candidate in this highly sought after elected position.

The experience and knowledge I have acquired over my years of service as Deputy Public Administrator as well as personal life situations have prepared me to serve as Public Administrator for Cape Girardeau County. I am the right person to help the friends and relatives of Cape Girardeau County should the need for the services of the Public Administrator become necessary for a loved one.
