Dubois County Clerk Kippenbrock Files for Re-Election

Kippenbrock, age 47, was elected to the office in 2018 having served as Chief Deputy Clerk from 2017-2018. She has filed seeking the Republican Party nomination in the May Primary. 

The Clerk is responsible for many of the administrative duties of the Dubois County Courts in addition to being Secretary of the County Election Board. “During 2021, we have been extremely busy with election administration matters. The 2020 Census led to redistricting Federal and State legislative districts as well as the review of voting precincts and County Commission and County Council districts. In addition, we continued our work to make local elections more accessible and secure by adopting Vote Centers for future elections.”

 Kippenbrock added, “During my first term I have accomplished many things in the Clerk’s office. The Clerk and Court offices converted computer systems to now use the statewide program, Odyssey. Odyssey allowed our entire system to become paperless and run more efficiently. Further, the Clerk’s office began accepting payments in restitution orders, judgments from all courts, as well as drug court fees. With the Clerk collecting these payments, other county departments have dedicated time to other duties in their respective departments. This is an excellent way for the court system to work properly for all parties involved. I am super excited, to share that we also began a new process of mailing out a pre-collection letter. This letter has had a success rate of 41%. Which in turn has prevented collection fees from being added to those accounts.” 

“At the Clerk’s office we must keep orderly records and pass State Board of Accounts audits with all financial records. I am very honored that the office has discovered techniques to become most efficient in these procedures, thus saving individuals and the courts time and money. I am humbled to have served as your County Clerk these past three years. I would be grateful for your continued support in the 2022 election.”
