Friends & Supporters:

Welcome and thank you for visiting our website.  This website is an exciting way to keep friends and supporters in tune with what the next few months will entail.  As many of you already know, April 9, 2013 is the date for the Consolidated Election for Oak Lawn, IL. 

I am the incumbent Village Clerk (almost eight years) now, and I am running as an Independent candidate this next election.  I chose to run as an Independent because I believe it is in the best interest of the Village of Oak Lawn.  This decision might bring a positive spin to Oak Lawn politics. 

The Village Clerk is not a voting member of the Board of Trustees, but I do work diligently with the full Board.  My official job description is “Keeper of the Records”.  There are many legal duties to be done with specific deadlines to meet.  I’m very particular with documents and I follow the law, as many of you have read about over the past few years.  Bottom line – the job description should be “jack of all trades”.  No two days are alike and you have to expect just about anything you can imagine in a given day. 

As far as enhancing the Village Clerk’s position, I am the first Registered and Certified Clerk in Oak Lawn history.  I am two thirds of the way through to becoming a Master Municipal Clerk.  I belong to and support many organizations throughout the community, and I have a lot of fun doing it.  This year I was humbled to be elected Vice President of the South & West Municipal Clerk’s Association, which consists of 75 municipalities. 

I look forward to you getting involved in my re-election regarding volunteering, wanting a lawn sign, having a gathering of friends or offering your financial support.  If you would like to participate in one of the above mentioned categories or in another way, please click on the tab that you are interested in. 

Thank you to so many supporters who have already reached out to help in my re-election for Oak Lawn Village Clerk.
