JoAnn Swartz shares her thoughts on running
for Lafayette County Recorder
My name is JoAnn Swartz.
My husband, Randy and I live in Lexington and have
been married for 24 years.
Randy is employed by the U.S. Postal Service in
Richmond. We are the proud parents of two children. Our daughter Karmen is 23
and employed by Cerner in Kansas City, Kansas, and is married to Josh
Ghisalberti who works for UPS through Higginsville. And our son Nick is 19 and
is attending Wentworth Military Academy and College as a freshman.
I am originally from Dover. My parents are Albert
& Josephine Ryun and I am the daughter-in-law of Donna Swartz and the late
James (Skinny) Swartz.
I am running for the
office of Lafayette County Recorder of Deeds. I have had the privilege of
working for over thirteen years as Deputy Recorder for long time Recorder, Patsy
Olvera. Prior to my time in the Recorder’s Office I worked several years in the
County Assessor’s Office and have several years of experience in different
areas of banking. I am currently a member of the Immaculate Conception Church
of Lexington, the Federated Republican Women, the Lexington Area Chamber of
Commerce, Lexington Tourism Bureau and the Lexington Historical Association. I
have currently completed serving my ninth year as a Lexington School Board
member with the last three years serving as School Board President.
It is my belief that in any position held within the County
you are a public servant that offers a high level of customer service to all
citizens throughout Lafayette County and if elected I will continue the high
level of customer service that has always been present under the leadership of
Patsy Olvera.
I am asking for your
support and vote in the August 5th primary.
Thank You.
