I am endorsing my longtime friend, Emily Karales Carlson, as a worthy Republican Party candidate for Kendall County Circuit Clerk.
I have known Emily since she was my student at Yorkville High School where I taught English for 34 years. Emily was a mature young woman then, and she has only grown and flourished through the years.
Determination and pride in her work are two of her strongest qualities.
While she was a teen working at Safari Market and in her 15 years in the Circuit Clerk’s office, she has maintained integrity and trustworthiness.
Service-oriented and committed to finding the most efficient and successful way to complete business, Emily has fresh ideas for improving customer service, implementing cross checks and balances, and maintaining a climate of camaraderie and open communication.
Her pursuit of continuing education keeps her on top of her game.
With 15 years of experience, she knows where the program comes from and has great insight into how it can progress and improve in the future.
Kendall County voters, choose Emily Carlson as your next Circuit Clerk. Her “2020 vision” is spot on, knowledgeable, and experienced, yet fresh, exactly what is needed in a more progressive Circuit Clerk administration.
