I’m Desarea Valentine, currently serving as the Chief Deputy for the Cacade County Clerk and Recorder. I am running for the seat of elected Clerk and Recorder, which includes the County Auditor, Land Data, and County Assessor. I am committed to professionalism, transparency, and accountability in local government. As a proud member of our community and the current Chief Deputy, I bring hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the responsibility this office holds.

I believe every public record should be accurate, secure, and carefully preserved as part of Cascade County’s history. I am dedicated to serving every resident with respect while providing reliable, efficient service.

With a focus on modernizing record-keeping, improving office efficiency, and maintaining strong ethical standards, I am committed to running the Clerk & Recorder’s Office responsibly—while being mindful of taxpayer dollars. Trust in local government starts with doing the job right.
