Kristen Anderson is the best candidate for the Lancaster County Clerk of Court. I've known Kristen for eight years through the nonpartisan Lincoln Lancaster League of Women Voters. Kristen is bright, personable and hardworking as demonstrated by her work as the deputy director of the Lancaster Treasurer's Office. In that capacity she supported staff and the public.
