    Mastering Public Service - Understanding Election Administration, Connie Schmidt, Johnson County, Kansas Election Commissioner

    This episode of Mastering Public Service is with Connie Schmidt, the Election Commissioner for Johnson County Kansas, the largest county in the state. Connie served as the election commissioner from 1995 to 2005 before owning and running an election consulting business that has provided consulting services to numerous local and state agencies. Connie was reappointed by the Secretary of State to serve as Election Commissioner for Johnson County in February 2020 and has worked in local government in Johnson County for a total of 31 years and previously served as City Clerk for the City of Merriam, Kansas. In December 2004 she received the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) Medallion Award for outstanding service to American democracy. In August 2005 received a Lifetime Membership Award from the Election Center, Inc. and in August 2007 received the Election Hall of Fame Award from The Election Center Inc. Its safe to say that she knows more than just a little bit about the administration of elections and possibly more than anyone in the state and probably the region. There are so many things about the administration of elections that most of us do not know and she helps makes the how elections are run a lot clearer. In addition to a very useful discussion about election administration we discuss her career and her love for public service.
