Candidate: Lisa Darus

My name is Lisa Slaughter Darus, and I am a Republican candidate for Supervisor of Elections of Gilchrist County. I am the daughter of Jimmy and Susie Slaughter and a fifth-generation resident of Gilchrist County, born and raised. I have been married to my husband, Tommy, for nine years and we have two sons, Jarrett and Greyson. Jarrett is a freshmen at Webber International University and Greyson is a first grader at Trenton Elementary School. Tommy and I have been lifelong Republicans and are widely involved in community activities such as the Republican Executive Committee of Gilchrist County, SVL coaches, Gilchrist County Education Foundation  members of Pine Grove Baptist Church and the Gilchrist County Woman's club, to name a few. 

For the past 16 years I have worked in the Gilchrist County Elections Office and have been involved in over 30 local, state and federal elections where the will of the voters of our great county was carried out, fairly and accurately. In addition to making sure every election is conducted correctly, I help lead election worker training, fulfill public record requests, register voters, handle all state and local petitions as well as numerous other duties. In my 16 years in the office, I have also attended several trainings and I stay up-to-date and well-versed in election law and procedure, which is ever changing.

One of the liberties we enjoy living in America is having free and fair elections. We have enjoyed that in Gilchrist County and I would like to ensure that our liberty is upheld, and that democracy is protected for our voters. I look forward to meeting many of you and would love to speak with you. Please call me anytime at 352-535-7217 or email me at Darus4SOE@gmail.com.
