QUALIFICATIONS

 

1.      What are your strongest qualifications for this position?

Marshall (D) Sawyer (R)
As Secretary of State, my strongest qualifications are my background in business, entrepreneurship, over 25 years practicing law, my commitment to open government and my use of technology solutions. We provide FREE access to public records using technology to erase geographic inequality. My leadership since 1997 has garnered national honors for outstanding citizen service and business leadership.
As an attorney and small business owner I have managed over $100,000,000.00 of client funds in a responsible and confidential manner. The year-long security breach created by hundreds of thousands of social security numbers on Secy. Marshall's website & the real mismanagement revealed in 2003 by Auditor Campbell (D) highlight the need for new leadership in the dept. Info at www.joinjack.com.
