With the primary election around the corner, I wanted to send this quick letter of support for Pam Barton for the position of Boundary County Clerk.

I have known Pam for many years and am close personal friends with her and her husband, Jamie.  As such, I feel compelled to highlight a few of her many qualities that help to outline why she would be a fantastic choice for the post.

During my tenure as a Boundary County Commissioner, Pam was the assistant administrator for the Boundary County Restorium.  She always exceeded my expectations regarding her work ethic and abilities.  Pam always provided the Commissioners with thorough and accurate information in a very timely fashion.  As the Boundary County deputy clerk, she has certainly shown her capability to manage personnel and perform all the functions of the county clerk's position.

Most importantly, Pam is extremely trustworthy, a person of great integrity and moral character.  I cannot think of anyone who I would trust more to uphold the oath of this office.  I will trust her with my vote.
