As the Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder, Kristin Connelly has led this award-winning office with integrity, transparency, and commitment to public service, delivering on the important work voters entrusted to her when she was elected in 2022.
Protecting democracy and maintaining confidence in our elections is her most important responsibility in office. She works collaboratively with election officials statewide and across the country to keep our elections safe.
Connelly launched a monthly email newsletter sent to all registered voters to provide clear information voters can trust. Her team added three secure ballot drop boxes by partnering with the Community College District to make voting as convenient as possible. They increased outreach to schools countywide and want everyone to have access to voting information, so she added two full-time bilingual Elections Outreach Specialists. They are working to become among the first jurisdictions certified as a Center for Elections Excellence.
Integrity is the core value of her work. Her team has a paper trail for every ballot, verifies every voter signature on vote-by-mail ballots, and protects voters’ personal information.
Beyond elections, the Clerk-Recorder’s office supports our community in life’s most important moments, including birth, marriage, property ownership, and legacy through thoughtful customer service and diligence.
Connelly was born and raised in Contra Costa County and is honored to serve her home county and all our communities. To keep doing so, she respectfully asks for your vote again today.
