Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 Word limit)

My experience in both the public and private sectors have developed my leadership, management, political, and financial skills to serve the hard working taxpayers of Hamilton County. In a variety of roles, I have developed the ability to evaluate operations, analyze financial statements, construct budgets, and manage teams.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

Online document filing, has been allowed in Ohio for over eleven years and during that time has been adopted by many counties. Unfortunately, Hamilton County lags behind in offering this efficient, time saving service. Similarly, Hamilton County does not provide document images online. I will bring real solutions to the Recorder's Office through technological improvements and increasing access to services. Additionally, I will engage the public and regular users of the office for input in an effort to develop a five-year strategic plan to improve services and increase the office's effectiveness.

3. What are the two most pressing issues you will face if you are elected? (100 word limit)

The two most pressing issues facing the Hamilton County Recorder are ensuring robust public access to the critical services provided by this office and increasing efficiency. Improving the technology of this office will offer significant improvement on both of these issues, but there is more that can be done.

4. How will you address each of those issues? (100 word limit)

Like most county offices, the Recorder's budget has steadily declined for the last several years, but under responsible, experienced management this does not mean that services must suffer. I have experience in the public sector as an aide to then-U.S. Representative Rob Portman and in the private sector as a partner and financial advisor at Truepoint, Inc. I will bring the skill set acquired throughout my career to my job as Recorder so the office provides the highest quality services in a timely, cost effective manner.
