Copy of What am I about and why I am running for office

One of the many reasons I am running for office is because I have become fed up and tired with the fact our current local government has forgotten that they serve the people. The reason I choose the Register of Wills as an office to run for is because I am a process and detailed oriented person. I am also a problem solver and I enjoy finding creative solutions to creative problems. I have a strong IT and business background. Our current incumbent has been there quite some time and I believe it is time for a change.

What does the Register of Wills actually do?

The Register of Wills is a county-level official responsible for supervising the probate process, validating wills, and appointing personal representatives to administer estates. They maintain permanent records, audit estate accounts, and collect inheritance taxes and fees. Additionally, they serve as clerk to the Orphans' Court and securely store wills of living persons.

Why should you vote for me and what changes will I make?

The core of my platform is, "Leadership through action". What that means is I believe we need to lead from the front. As Register of Wills I will make sure I work hard to make sure my office works efficiently as possible. I also believe government should be service. So while I admit I have never worked in the register of wills office previously, I will work hard with the current staff and do everything I can to learn the position. Once I achieve that benchmark I plan to start to analyze the processes of office and see what parts of the process can be streamlined. I have a strong IT and business background. I plan to use that experience to make the best use of technology so I can increase the efficiency of the process. This is not only to better serve the public but become more cost effective. The judiciary every year has to request more and more funds from the taxpayers. While I do believe this is a natural part of government, let's try to reduce our budget footprint is my belief.

Customer Service goals

While I will currently admit while I do not work in that office and I completely recognize that I will first need to learn the position before coming up with any solid plans, I do want to make the register of wills office less like the MVA. I want the public to get the best experience they possibly can. Most people don't interact with the register of wills office or orphans court very often and when the do, it is after the loss of a loved one. I want to make sure the process is a streamlined and compassonate as possible.
