The Christian County Clerk and Recorder will not seek re-election. Laurie Mense made the announcement yesterday.

Mense took office on December 1, 2014 but has been working with the County Clerk’s office since 1995. She says she is getting older, and she believes a fresh face would be beneficial for her office.

Mense says she has been proud to serve the county for over 20 years, but she’s ready for more time outside of work.

Mense thanks Christian County residents for their support through her time working with the county.

Mense is proud of the work she has done in the Clerk and Recorder’s Office, and says she believes she has made the office more accessible to Christian County residents.
