Contested Races
in the Countywide Republican Primary
Name: Amanda Farley
Office Seeking: Darke County Clerk of Courts
Personal and
Professional Information about yourself:
My name is Amanda Farley and I graduated from Indiana University in
2011 with a Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. I job shadowed
and interned with various departments in our county. While
earning my degree I took courses in creative writing, public
administration, government finance and budgets and many criminal
justice terminology classes. Also while attending school and
working I became a mother.
Describe the duties,
as you see them, for the office you are seeking, and your
qualifications for fulfilling those duties:
Duties that I see for this position are being able to work as part of a
team or independently, having good communication skills, being able to
perform regular office tasks, preparing legal documents, making and
balancing a budget. My qualifications for fulfilling these duties
are that I can perform regular office duties and prepare documents as
needed. My degree required classes have prepared me for
most things that I would encounter in this job.
What do you feel are
the top three challenges of the office that you can address better than
your opponent:
I would be able to look at what is best for the county without mixing
personal agendas, such as politics. I believe that there is a
conflict of interest with someone being the chair of a party and also
being an elected official representing the whole county, I do not have
to worry about balancing between the two. I will be able to make
decisions on what is best for everyone living in Darke County.
Summarize why you
should receive the vote on March 6th:
I should receive the vote on March 6th because I am qualified for the
position. Since deciding to go to school for criminal justice, I have
spent a lot of time with different departments within the court
system. I understand that all departments must work together in
order to make things move smoothly. I will make sure that taxpayers’
money is spent wisely. I do know how to manage a budget and keep
to it, while cutting costs where necessary. I am dedicated and
hardworking, I promise to do the best job possible for Darke County
citizens.
