Shelly Schratz Erie County Clerk
R, FF

Schratz

When elected I promise to bring good business practices to government.

I enjoy asking questions and problem solving but most of all working with people.

As clerk I will work to reduce the financial burden of taxes and fees by creating efficiencies through technology, personnel performance reviews and restructuring the current organizational model which will reduce personnel. No more patronage!

I will bring fresh and new ideas to the county with the help of all employees.

The clerk's office will become the central location for Erie County residents' concerns. Not only will I be your clerk, I will be your future eyes and ears of good government. I will attend the legislative meetings and report back to the public.

I will work to initiate a mandate which requires sex offenders to re-register every 90 days with the DMV. I believe this will assist our local law enforcement agencies.

As the owner of Bings restaurant I understand the difficulties facing small business in this difficult economic climate.

I understand just how valuable every minute is during the working hours and how long lines cost businesses money. The little guy counts!

I am a graduate of Bishop Neumann High School and attended Bryant and Stratton. Along with my husband Tom and our four beautiful children we have lived in Erie County for more than 35 years. We love Erie County and want to continue to raise our family here.

I promise, you will no longer be the last to know. Just ask the Amherst residents.
