Washington County Circuit Clerk Cindy Barczewski has announced that she is seeking re-election in the next election in 2016. She was appointed Circuit Clerk in 2007 and was elected to her first term in 2008, while she won re-election in 2012. She began working in that office in 1988 and now has over 27 years of experience to manage the office. In 2013, the Circuit Clerk’s Office updated the automated court management system and is now installing an imaging system to convert to digital case management. This will result in compact storage, while keeping easy retrieval of the documents. She says the ultimate goal is to convert to a paperless court management system.
