Clark County Clerk Parker announces re-election bid

A former member of Office and Professional Employees Local 11, Parker has almost 19 years experience in the Superior Court system in Clark County. She has served as County Clerk since January 2007.

Parker holds a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of South Florida and an associate’s degree in data processing from Clark Community College. She recently completed the Certified Public Officials program offered by the State of Washington.

The County Clerk is the administrative and financial officer of the Superior Court. The role of the Clerk is to provide the public with equal access to a fair, accurate and independently established record of the Superior Court’s opinions, decisions and judgments. The Clerk’s office has an annual budget of approximately $3 million and a staff of 45 employees working in four separate locations.

“The last biennium has been difficult for all Clark County employees, but the staff of the Clerk’s Office has met every challenge with innovative ideas and teamwork,” Parker said. “I am proud of our accomplishments and would consider it an honor to serve as County Clerk for another four years.”

Parker believes, “to be a part of the community, you must serve the community.” She serves on the board of trustees of Clark Community College; on the Public Trust and Confidence Committee of the Board for Judicial Administration; as secretary of the Clark County Volunteer Lawyers Program; as a member of the Clark County Law and Justice Council; as an Executive Board member and past president of Salmon Creek Lions Club; and as a member of the Clark County Lions Hearing Committee, which provides hearing aids for Clark County residents who are not financially able to purchase them.

Parker is married to Philip Parker, a vice president of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 48 and chair of the Southwest Washington Labor Roundtable. They have been married over 40 years.
