Dear John,

We’re continuing to interview election officials in our “Spotlight on Election Officials ([link removed]) ” series to help the public better understand the role election officials play in our democratic process.

As administrators of our democracy, election officials' work is so important to carry out our democratic process. How does that responsibility shape your approach to your work?
It’s something I’m mindful of every day. My family instilled in me the importance of voting, being civically engaged, and being a part of your community. To work in this field, to interact with voters, and to see the moments that give voters pride to exercise their right to vote – it’s a precious thing. I work with a group of people who are dedicated to giving every single voter in North Carolina free, accessible, and fair elections.

These days, Americans are hearing a lot about the administration of our elections. What don’t Americans know about the election process in your state, that you wish they did?
Most of our work is done behind the scenes. We’re a bipartisan group and it’s a highly coordinated effort to ensure that our elections run smoothly – from the state, to county officials, to the poll workers on Election Day. We’re absolutely committed to making sure North Carolinians can exercise their right to vote and have confidence in the election results.
