Legal Experience

Huffman: I think the most important issue for our Craven County Clerk's Office is the need to improve the administration and efficiency of the office staff. Craven County has 32 assistant and deputy clerks that serve under the leadership of the elected clerk of court. It is critical that each employee receives the proper training and support, and that the elected clerk possesses the skills necessary to keep our courts running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. It is crucial that the court records are accurate and properly maintained. It is also vitally important that the clerk's office becomes more automated as they work very closely with the judges, district attorney, attorneys, and our administrative office of the courts.

Plans to create a more efficient, user-friendly clerk's office that better serves Craven County residents.

Huffman: I have over 40 years of experience in the legal field, and have spent over 31 years of that legal career serving the people of Craven County and the State of North Carolina. I am genuinely grateful for this opportunity, and I now desire to create a clerk’s office that is efficient, very user-friendly, and will better serve all of our residents in Craven County. I am the only candidate who has both criminal and civil court experience. I believe this experience, combined with my extensive leadership skills, strong work ethic, and pledge for an open-door policy and complete transparency makes me the most qualified candidate.

Plans to make clerk's office records and data available to the public when they can be disclosed.

Huffman: As an elected official, I think honesty and discretion are imperative. I would stay transparent by initiating an open-door policy for my office. I think it is so important to be available to the public, my staff, county officials, and all ancillary agencies that work with the clerk of court's office. Open communication is really vital in this position. While many of the reports and documents handled by the clerk's office cannot be disclosed to the public, I would ensure that all records and data that can be, are made available. Transparency and accountability are critical for any public office and elected official.
