for Madison County Auditor
Over the past eight years, it has been my privilege to serve Madison County as their Chief Deputy Auditor. Now, I am eager to continue my commitment to our community by running for County Auditor. My experience has taught me the intricacies of this role and the impact it has on every resident—from elected officials and department heads to our valued taxpayers.
Together with Rick Gardner, we have transformed the Auditor's office into a hub of efficiency and taxpayer-friendly service. We view our taxpayers as valued customers, and it's been our mission to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and can easily find answers to their questions.
We've embraced technology to revolutionize how we manage county finances, moving to a completely paperless claims process and streamlining payroll operations. This modern approach not only saves time but also taxpayer dollars, setting a standard for how technology can enhance governmental efficiency.
Looking ahead, I plan to apply this innovative mindset to improve the budget process for the County Council. By harnessing advanced technologies, we can provide clearer, more effective visualizations and forecasts, helping the Council make informed decisions that promise better outcomes for our county.
Our collaborative efforts with the County Council over the last eight years have positioned Madison County for a prosperous future. We've worked diligently to reduce our debt, finance significant projects responsibly, and build up reserves to maintain an excellent credit rating—all while managing workforce growth prudently.
In partnership with the Board of Commissioners, we've ensured the financial stability necessary to maintain and improve our infrastructure, like roads and bridges. Additionally, we've assisted numerous departments in optimizing their cash flow, enabling them to operate more effectively.
As your next County Auditor, I am committed to building on these successes and continuing to serve the best interests of Madison County. I am asking for your vote to move forward together, embracing transparency, innovation, and fiscal responsibility for a brighter future for all our residents.
