In closing, the above shows who has prepared over their entire adult career, and who can continue to lead the Baker County Clerk of Courts Offi ce. I encourage you to do your own research. Stop each of us in the grocery store, the post offi ce, or while we are going door to door and ask us questions that pertain to the job and may possibly one day con- cern you; how to properly fi le for a Marchman Act, how to fi le for an injunction, how much does recording a deed cost, or come up with your own. Choose your Clerk for one that you are able to stop whenever or wherever you see them, feel comfortable speaking with them, and are able to ask a question knowing that you will get a competent and accurate answer. You will fi nd that I am not partially qualifi ed or uniquely qualifi ed, I am fully qualifi ed with the experience that is needed to run your Clerk’s Offi ce. When you vote, vote for experience that matters and experience that you can trust. Your vote to keep me, Stacie D. Harvey, as your Clerk of Courts is greatly appreciated. Thank You and May God Bless!
