SUBMITTED
Today, I have filed to run for the office of Ellis County Treasurer. I am humbled by the overwhelming support I have received while collecting 300 signatures to file by petition. While this amount is more than what was required, I wanted to have a larger margin of signatures and planned to complete this during the first week of April. I felt it was best to direct file instead of ascertaining more signatures due to the stay at home request by the Governor of Kansas for COVID-19.
I believe that I can restore professionalism, integrity, trust, transparency, teamwork and ethics to the position. Those who know me professionally and/or personally, have seen this demonstrated through my 39 years of living and working in Ellis County. For those who do not know me, I encourage contact through phone 785-259-3402 or email [email protected] to ask questions on my standards and experience.
Growing up, I spent my summers with my grandparents in Webster, Kansas. My grandmother worked in the Rooks County Treasurer’s office. I got to help in the office by carrying the big bounded ledger books out of the vaults for their recordkeeping – yes, before computers. I was in awe of all the important work the office was responsible for and how many of the county departments AND other county treasurer departments they had to work with. Fast forward to today, and Ellis County.
Those who know me can substantiate that I will restore professionalism, integrity, trust, transparency, teamwork, ethics and PRIDE back into the office of Ellis County Treasurer. This is my goal for this office if I am afforded the honor of being elected into this office. Please visit my website at www.drydenfortreasurer.com for more information.
