Three Reasons to Vote for Sherry....

  Integrity – The most important issue facing Knox County today is the restoration of faith of the citizens in their government. I intend to bring an honest work ethic to the position of Register of Deeds, and to manage the office with the level of integrity the taxpayers deserve.

 

Professionalism – Register of Deeds is an office that requires a high level of experience and expertise. As I have said on numerous occasions, my candidacy is not about term limits or appointments or negative politics. It is about professionalism. I will bring the experience and expertise necessary to operate the Register’s office at the level of excellence our citizens expect.

 

Leadership – The Knox County Register of Deeds is a 20 million dollar a year business, and I intend to bring the sound financial leadership skills necessary to manage an office of this magnitude. I will look for innovative ways to save the taxpayers money, while maintaining the level of quality service they expect from the Register’s office.
