BOB HATFIELD ~ Retired Educator of Zephyrhills High School
Current Teacher at Saddlebrook Preparatory School"My wife and I are excited about Paula O'Neil's race for two reasons. First, the Office of Clerk of the Circuit Court is the vital hub of County government. The title of the office does not begin to describe the many important functions and services assigned to that office. The Clerk of Circuit Court in Florida performs the duties of several other elected officials in many other states: Clerk of the Court, Clerk to the County Commission or Board of Supervisors, County Recorder, Auditor, and Treasurer are examples."
"The second reason is the candidate herself. Paula has outstanding credentials, enthusiasm, a unique dedication to public service and an ability to inspire others. Her 20 years in local government and five years as Chief Deputy Clerk of Circuit Court has not only prepared her to assume these important duties; she has earned the opportunity to lead of the office to the next level of excellence."
