I would like to begin by giving you a little background on me. I was born in Dublin, Ireland and I have lived in Lincoln since 1994, along with my husband and two children. I became a US citizen in 2012. I started working in the Town Clerk’s office in 2011 as the Deputy Town Clerk, learning the ropes from a wonderful mentor, Susan Brooks. Since 2018, I have been your elected Town Clerk. I will outline some of the duties of the Town Clerk in a moment but first I would like to say that I love this job and I love serving the people of Lincoln. It has been an honor and a privilege to be your Town Clerk and I hope to be able to continue to serve the town in this capacity. In terms of what the Town Clerk does day-to-day, it is an exciting variety of duties whose common purpose is to serve the citizens of Lincoln. Some of these duties include Elections, Vital Records, Chief Records Access Officer, the Town Archives and the Lincoln Cemetery. The Town Clerk is Lincoln’s Chief Election Official. This entails everything to do with elections; from registering voters, sending out Absentee Ballots and overseeing Early Voting in person to managing the polling place on Election Day. The goal of the Chief Election Official is to run a smooth and transparent election, an election that voters believe was conducted fairly, with the highest degree of integrity and an election where all voters feel their vote counted. The Town Clerk also manages Vital Records, including all birth, death and marriage certificates. As the Town’s Chief Records Access Officer, I manage all Public Records Requests. The Town Clerk is also the Co-Director of the Lincoln Town Archives. This essential function serves to preserve Lincoln’s rich history and, as a local history buff, this is one of my favorite aspects of the job. Finally, the Town Clerk also serves as Lincoln’s Cemetery Agent, managing the day-to-day operations of the cemetery and assisting families with the burial of their loved ones. In addition to a love for the job and a desire to serve Lincoln’s citizens, I am also qualified to be your Town Clerk. I am a Certified Massachusetts Municipal Clerk, a Master Municipal Clerk accredited by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks,’ and I serve on the Executive Board of the Mass Town Clerks’ Association. As I have already mentioned a couple of times now, I love this job and I love serving the citizens of Lincoln. The Town Clerk’s Office often serves as an information hub and I am always only a phone call away, if I can assist in any way. I am asking for your vote at the Town Election on Monday, March 28.
