To Township Clerk and other Officials

“What qualifies me to be the Wadena County auditor?”
 

I do feel it is important to get to know your elected officials so I am sending you this letter in hopes to clarify any questions you may have.

I am an integral part of the Auditor’s office currently. I have the opportunity to work closely with every office that makes up our system everyday. In itself, this separates me from the other candidates.

We implement cross training heavily within the auditor’s office, so I have the opportunity to experience and to work with the issues and duties facing our current auditor on a day to day basis. This is the second reason why I am qualified to be your Auditor for Wadena County. Again, this separates me from the other candidates. These two reasons along with the extensive training that goes with working in the auditors office certainly qualifies me to step up and offer my services so that we maintain our standard of excellence. Any candidate for any office will need training; on the other hand, I have already been exposed so training would be minimal compared to other candidates.

I have over 10 years combined experience in accounting, business administration and criminal justice. Currently, I am a supporter, volunteer and advocate for several charitable organizations.
 
 

I am a working part of our community, right now…everyday.

“I am not a person who talks about doing things; I am a person who is out there doing what needs to be done.”

I have been enjoying my education for several years now, and only months away from obtaining my bachelors degree in accounting. Prior to accounting, I enjoyed classes in business administration and criminal justice. After obtaining an accounting degree, I intend to go back to school and obtain a degree in political science. Education is very important to me.

My goals if elected are simple:

1. Work closely with our Board to influence and maintain County growth.
2. To offer impartial judgments and solutions for our concerns.
3. Maintain our standard of excellence and strive for better audits.
4. Develop better communication between constituents and the county offices.
5. Assist in implementing a youth voting education program (and encourage all constituents to get involved as well).

We need a person in office who can make impartial decisions.
Decisions based on what will be good for the County.

That person is Jo E. Dooley.

In conclusion the answer is simple, I am part of our community, someone who is ahead of the game because I work with Auditor’s duties everyday.

I hope this answers your questions; and please feel free to call me at my home number if you would like more information. I appreciate you actually taking the time get to know your possible officials. It is nice to know someone is looking into things.
 

Sincerely,
 

Jo E. Dooley
Current Tax Specialist &
Candidate for Wadena County Auditor/Treasurer (2002)
