In 2005, Tina began providing direct support and leadership across all Clerk and Recorder areas of operations as a Vehicle Licensing Specialist, Vehicle Licensing Supervisor, Vehicle Licensing Assistant Manager, Recording Manager, and Deputy Clerk.

Tina understands the complex details of rule and law, as well as the boots-on-the-ground human elements necessary to conduct an election with integrity.
On a personal note, Tina is a very active and proud Mother and Grandmother of a blended family. Tina has been married to her partner in adventure, Rick, for 34 years; and they enjoy camping, spending time with the grandkids and loving up on their Corgi, Sammy.
“I want to continue as your Larimer County Clerk and Recorder because I am committed to providing continuously improved, quality government services to our citizens; I am invested in the staff who are so dedicated to ensuring this is so; and…perhaps most importantly…because I know it is critical that all services provided in this office – from marriage licenses, to maintaining the public record, to vehicle licensing to elections administration – MUST be conducted with no political bias…period.
It would be challenging for someone who is not experienced in the office to approach this position from a non-political perspective, no matter their party affiliation. I have proven that I am non-political, I have been mentored by non-political leadership since being in the office, and my experience in the office is clearly the driver of my interest in pursuing this next level of leadership within it.”
