More breaking Kaufman County election news. Angela Webb, court coordinator for County Court at Law (Hon. Judge Wiley presiding) is going to run for District Clerk. The current clerk, Sandra Featherstone has announced she will not seek reelection. I am going to miss Sanrda and I wish her nothing but the best in future endeavours.
Here is a Q&A with Angela-
1. Background/resume
I have over 10 years experience in county government (county clerk, justice of the peace, & CCL) & have earned the title of court administrator through the Texas Center for the Judiciary. (just a side note - currently, I'm the only one in the county with that certification.) I have about 200 hours of CE credit.
2. Why do you want to be Kaufman county's district clerk?
I want to assume the responsibility of district clerk because I believe I am ready to take my career in county government to the next level. I want to continue the tradition of service and professionalism Sandra has established while transitioning the office into a more "modern" atmosphere.
3. What experiences will serve you best if elected?
I've had over 10 years experience from the JP to district level. I've managed the budget for CCL & CPS indigent defense for several years, as well as, managing personnel matters.
4. Are you nervous about your first political race?
yes
5. Do you have any policy ideas or changes you want to implement?
Yes, one of my first goals will be to implement e-mail communications. Additionally, I will take steps to implement e-filing.
6. If elected, will you allow thumbprinting of felony defendants in court? Right now I have to take my arm and leg shackled client up a flight of stairs to get a thumb print for the plea papers. Just an idea.
Yes.
7. Anything else you want the voters to know.
I want the voters to know that I am hard-working and honest. I will serve the citizens of Kaufman County with integrity and professionalism.
Why didn't you interview RHONDA HUGHEY. She's been with the District Clerks office over 14 years and is definitely the most qualified candidate!!! More interesting than angela!!
There could not be a more qualified, dedicated person than Angie Webb. She will find better ways of doing the things that need to be improved. She will not keep doing things the way they have been done, just because that is the way they WERE done. Sometimes it takes a fresh set of eyes to see things as they are TODAY.
