Gilliland seeks election as District Clerk
WILLOW PARK – In announcing her candidacy, Republican attorney Sharena Gilliland pledges to make the Parker County District Clerk’s office accessible to the citizens of Parker County and user-friendly to all.
Gilliland is running to replace Elvera Johnson, who is retiring at the end of her term after 12 years in office.
In a Monday release announcing her intentions to seek the office, Gilliland said she has utilized the services of the District Clerk’s offices throughout the state and is familiar with the key role they play in the effective administration of District records, court efficiency, and accessibility to the justice system.
Gilliland stated understanding the clerk’s legal duties and providing the most openness are what makes for the most effective District Clerk’s office.
In her statement she also said rapport between the clerk’s office and lawyers is important.
“A key goal will be rebuilding the necessary goodwill between Parker County District Clerk’s office and the courts and attorneys throughout the county,” she said. “There is no reason why we can’t have the best relationship between the District Clerk’s office and the public in the Great State of Texas. Communication from the District Clerk’s office to the public, the courts, and attorneys is the key to an effective office. I want to ensure we do a stellar job for the taxpayers of Parker County.”
Gilliland is a longtime Texas resident and a licensed attorney in private practice. She is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and Baylor University School of Law. She is married to Aledo ISD Police Chief Chawn Gilliland and they have two children. She is also a member of the Texas Bar Association, Community Christian Church in Aledo and Bush Legacy Republican Women of Weatherford.
“Parker County is a great place to live and work. It is my goal to serve its citizens with the utmost professionalism and courtesy while operating the District Clerk’s office in an efficient manner.”
