Candidates 2010: Cindy Polley

I am a fourth generation Ellis County native, my roots are buried here…this is my home! I am the daughter of Merle Walker and the late Gordon Walker of Waxahachie. My grandparents were the late George and Mable Walker and the late Richard and Elsie Curry, all of Waxahachie. I am blessed with two beautiful daughters, two hard-working sons-in-law and five of the prettiest grandchildren you have ever seen. I have always been proud to be an Ellis County resident and am even more proud that my children and grandchildren choose to call Ellis County home. It is because of my deep love and commitment to this community and its residents that I chose to seek public office and it is that same love and commitment that makes me want to continue my service.

On the first day of January 1991, I proudly assumed the role of Ellis County Clerk by swearing an oath to execute the duties of the office and to preserve, protect and defend the constitution and laws of the United States and the great state of Texas. It has truly been an honor to serve and I thank you for the privilege.
Upon assuming office, we began converting to new, more modern technology from “paper and ledger.” Progress doesn’t come without challenge and it’s a continual process developing innovative ways to support the needs of our growing county. Much has been accomplished in these 19 years, but there is much more that needs to be done. I am proud of all that the clerk’s office has accomplished and I look forward to the challenges ahead.  

In America today, there is more focus than ever before on finances and accountability. There are always budget concerns and I want the citizens of Ellis County to know that every effort is made to hold the line on operating costs. It is my responsibility to each and every person today and to future generations to be a good steward of your tax dollars.
 
I am an experienced administrator and have served Ellis County both efficiently and effectively for more than 19 years. I would consider it a great honor to continue to serve you in the future. I appreciate your support.
