Gail Maxwell, Gilpin County.  I would like to introduce myself to you. I am Gail Maxwell and I am a Candidate for Gilpin County Clerk and Recorder.  I became a member of the Gilpin community 21 years ago. My career at that time was managing one of the Title companies in Gilpin, Boulder, Clear Creek area.

Today, many of you know me as the Current Chief Deputy or the Go-to person in the Gilpin County Clerk and Recorder’s Office. I, Gail Maxwell, have been employed with Gilpin County for the last 8 years. This comes as a surprise to some because you have seen me almost every day for the last 21 years in the Clerk and Recorder’s office, searching property records. At times I have helped many of you with property ownership questions and helped find information on your property.

I have been preparing for the position with help from Clerk Stewart and others to become the next Clerk and Recorder. I have acted as Clerk when Clerk Stewart was unavailable.

Currently, you can find me in the office next to the Gilpin County Motor Vehicle Office. In my position as the Chief Deputy, I work closely with the clerk setting up policies, procedures and operations of the office, along with training and working with staff.

As the Director of Elections, I have proven to have successful elections with integrity and fairness. At the same time providing leadership and management to staff and 25 or more elections judges. I am a Colorado State Certified Election Official for Gilpin County.  I have met with Activists successfully and set up a new State audit procedure for Elections. I lead the initiative for voter ballot drop boxes in Gilpin County.

Protecting your sensitive information contained in the Gilpin County computer system is important to me. I am privileged to work with U.S. Department of Homeland Security on this issue. I have worked closely with local law enforcement during investigations of property and motor vehicle records.

I, Gail Maxwell, can walk into the position of clerk and recorder with no learning curve and get started right away maintaining and moving the office forward. I work for the people not the parties.

I am member of the Secretary of States Election Review Committee and Legislative Committee.  Also, a member of the Colorado County Clerk Association and State Driver’s License Committee.

Lastly, I wanted to say Thank You, to all the Gilpin community for allowing me to be a part of your life.  From your challenges to find answers about Gilpin history, to your happy days of getting married, or Estate questions for family members who have passed. I will continue to help find property and motor vehicle records information to meet the need.

Most of all, I ask you for your vote! Call me or email at 303-582-0367 or gmaxwell1@hotmail.com
