About Tabatha

Get to Know Tabatha

I am a lifelong Grant Countian and I currently reside in Stewartsville with my husband, Joe, our children, Jeffrey and Madalynn. I learned to work hard from my grandparents, parents and family at an early age. I grew up working on my grandparent's farm, in parent's produce store and volunteering in our community. My work ethic only grew stronger when I met my husband who inspires me with his initiative and diligence. I am honored to be your Grant County Clerk. I want to continue to work for the people of Grant County as your County Clerk.
I humbly ask for your support and vote!

Why I want to be your County Clerk?

I am passionate about this office as it serves you, the customers. I will be responsible for elections, motor vehicle registration, and record keeping. I am experienced in focusing on multiple responsibilities at one time. I have been a watchdog over county funds and work hard to secure funding through grants, partnerships and revenue development. I organize and implement over 50 events, maintain five park properties, manage employees/volunteers, collaborate with community agencies, and manage a county budget. In addition, I am engaged through various community enrichment opportunities. I have been a leader in county government and I am ready to be your next County Clerk.
