I am the best candidate for Winona county recorder because I am passionate about my community and I bring a new perspective to the office. Growing up, internet safety and cyber threats were always a topic of conversation in my household. I know how important it is to keep up with technology and current cyber threats to minimize the risks that technology can expose one to. This year Winona County suffered two cyber attacks. I want to serve my community by using that knowledge and understanding of technology to protect the integrity, security and accessibility of our county’s records.
If elected my top three priorities are preventing cyber attacks, stopping title fraud, and providing a good experience in the recorder’s office. Cyber attacks and title fraud cost the tax payer money and threaten the privacy and security of our citizens, so it is vital that we prevent these things from taking place. Finally, when people need to go to the recorder’s office, I want them to have a wonderful experience.
Winona county recorder is responsible for real estate and vital records. It is their job to make sure county records are accurately recorded, stored securely, and accessible to the community. It’s important to our county’s commerce that real estate records can be trusted and accessed in a timely manner.
By preventing cyber attacks, stopping title fraud, and providing a good day to day experience in the recorder’s office, I will ensure that the records maintained by the office are safe, accurate, and accessible to our community.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
