Meet Vanessa

I’m running for County Clerk-Recorder to give back, uphold the law, and ensure every resident’s voice is heard and counted. The duties of this office demand impartiality and a deep respect for due process. I am committed to serving every resident with that same level of professionalism.

A Life of Service, Leadership & Integrity.

My Roots in San Luis Obispo County. My journey in San Luis Obispo County began in 1992 when my husband Mike and I chose Grover Beach as our home. For over 35 years, our life together has been a journey of love and support, raising our two wonderful sons, Troy and Bryan, and now delighting in our cherished grandchildren, Milo and Oliver. Our family deepened its roots on the Central Coast when we became franchise owners of N-Hance Wood Refinishing, Inc. in 2006, later opening our local shop in Oceano. This entrepreneurial journey has given me invaluable experience in managing operations, prioritizing customer service, and ensuring fiscal responsibility required to run an efficient, trusted organization.

"This community has given me everything—family, opportunity, and purpose. It's time to give back through diligent and transparent service."

My Commitments for a Stronger SLO County.

Ensuring Fair, Secure, and Accessible Elections.

A Vision for Trust, Transparency & Efficiency.

Understanding the County Clerk-Recorder's Vital Role.

The County Clerk-Recorder is more than just the person in charge of elections. This essential office serves as a cornerstone of county government, quietly supporting the structure of our democracy and the accurate documentation of our lives. It oversees:

  • Fair and Secure Elections

  • Marriage Licenses & Civil Ceremonies

  • Birth and Death Records

  • Property & Other Official Records

Protecting Nonpartisan Values:

  • Fair and Secure Elections

    I will vigilantly protect the nonpartisan nature of this essential role. This includes working to eliminate the disenfranchising of voter precincts, lobbying against gerrymandering, and holding candidates accountable for campaign fraud by utilizing the Public Integrity Unit.

My Commitments for a Stronger SLO County.

Fair, Legal, and Ethical Elections: I am dedicated to ensuring fair, legal, and ethical elections for all residents. My commitments include:

  • Electronic Poll book to verify identity- real-time communications line using a Geographical Information System between Vote Center (or Early Voting Center) and the County Recorder's Office.

  • ICX Machine- Voter assistant terminal for voters with disabilities, that can display their district's ballot.

  • Establishing Vote Centers: A super precinct allowing voters to cast their district on a paper ballot anywhere in the county. Vote centers were first used in Larimer County, Colorado. Used currently in San Mateo, California.

  • No Excuse Absentee Voting- Allows a voter to cast an absentee ballot for any reason whatsoever.

  • Thoroughly Vetted Staff: Ensuring all votes are tabulated by thoroughly vetted, certified, and trained staff: Ballot Poll Workers, Election Signature Judge, free from partisan influence.

  • Signature Card - A card mailed to all active voters, prior to Election Day, which is used to quickly process voter in the Electronic Poll Book and to capture the voter's signature.

Transparency and Professionalism:

  • I will serve with unwavering transparency, professionalism, and integrity. My office will operate with an open-door policy (where legally permissible), fostering public trust in every process.

Upholding Public Trust:

  • My ultimate goal is to restore and maintain public trust in the election process and the integrity of public records.
