"Curtis was appointed to change the way elections are conducted. He's calling for more transparency when it comes to elections. And one way he aims to achieve that goal is through setting up cameras to record everything."
"Francescut has 17 years of experience with elections. She claims that Curtis has been able to improve transparency and election observation because of the work she was doing before Curtis took over."
"Curtis has claimed that Francescut, 'has no concern for the public at all,' Francescut denies that claim, while acknowledging the county clerk office has had a negative reputation in the past."
In Shasta County, a significant clerk race is underway between Joanna Francescut and Clint Curtis. Curtis, appointed to enhance election transparency, proposes using cameras for monitoring. He lacks prior election experience, while Francescut brings 17 years of expertise. Despite her qualifications, the Board of Supervisors appointed Curtis over her after previous clerks resigned. Curtis has criticized Francescut's public concern, which she disputes, acknowledging the office's past reputation. Ballots will be mailed by May 4th, with a deadline for submission on June 2nd, determining the election winner in June.
