My Introduction

My name is Kristi Bailey, I am running for Rowan County Clerk on the Republican ticket. For those of you that do not know me, I am a Rowan County native living most of my life in the Cranston community. My parents are Donna Lewis and the late Ed Smith Jr. My grandparents were Carlos and Edith Logan Lewis from Cranston and Ed Smith Sr and Juanita Stewart Smith from Haldeman. I have been married to Darold Bailey, Jr for almost 18 years. Together we have five children, he came with three beautiful daughters, Leslie, Chelsea, and Alexis, and together we have a son Trey and a daughter Emma.

I started working my first job when I turned fifteen at a fast-food restaurant, then waited tables and next a sewing factory. At 22, I decided to go back to school to study business/office management. While attending school I worked nights and weekends at Arby’s. In March of 1999 I started working in the clerk’s office on an internship with Rowan Technical College and was hired upon graduation.

Over the course of my years in the clerk’s office I have worked in the deed room, on the front line, with the voter department and managing the bookkeeping. I have explicit knowledge of the operations of this office. My proven work ethic and love for this office are what makes me the right choice for Rowan County Clerk. I want you to look forward to a visit to the clerk’s office with guaranteed friendly professional Customer service.

I appreciate your support and vote in the coming Elections!!
