About Theresa, County Clerk Turner stated, “Theresa is an outstanding candidate for the office of County Clerk and Recorder. She has been training for this position for many years, and knows it inside and out. I will leave my office in competent, capable hands. This will be a seamless transition. Our entire staff is supportive of her election to this office.
