Stephanie Chisom Announces Re-Election Bid

October 10th, 2025 by

It has been a privilege to serve you as Drew County clerk. As I seek re-election, I remain steadfast in my commitment to providing courteous and efficient service while upholding the highest standards of honesty, security, and transparency in our elections and county government as a whole.

Since assuming office, I have worked diligently to enhance public access and improve services. From the addition of Passport application processing, the digitization of all Ordinances, Court Orders, Election documents and Marriage Licenses dating back to 1940, I have and will continue to move Drew County forward.

I believe that public trust in local government is built upon accountability, professionalism, and accessibility. With your vote, my staff and I will continue to work towards that goal if re-elected.

It would be an honor to continue serving the citizens of Drew County and to earn your support once again in 2026.

Thank you for your support, and may God bless you and yours.
