Tell us a little about yourself.
I have lived in Sweetwater County since 1986. My husband, Harry Bobak, served honorably in the Vietnam war and we are extremely proud of our son, TJ Bobak. After graduating from UW, he’s working on his PHD at Mississippi State University.
In 1987, I began working at the County Court and became the Chief Clerk in 1997. Sweetwater County elected me as their Clerk of District Court in the 2010. I’ve been a part of the courts computer automation through several case management systems. The experience I have from serving in both courts makes me uniquely qualified to continue to serve you for another term.
What do you see as the most important issues in your candidacy and how will you address them?
This is not an easy answer as everything is important in the Clerk of District Court’s office. We are concentrating on transitioning to a new case management system on August 13th and our preparations are important.
The budget I inherited was over $900,000 and I have worked hard to reduce our costs, especially during Covid. Our office works cooperatively with the county commissioners, especially during fiscal challenges. Even through county raises, inflation and the past 12 years, my budget is still below $900,000.
In 2019 we opened our ‘North’ office so litigants could pay child support, pick up pro se packets and make other payments as they came in. This office remained open until April 1, 2022 due to our upcoming conversion and training. This is a temporary closure for the convenience of the tech support group from the Wyoming Supreme Court.
I have been audited annually for finances, policies and procedures without any discrepancies.
I am qualified to be your Clerk of District Court and, as always, will be honored to serve you to the best of my abilities. Please exercise your voice and vote on August 16th!
