Incumbent Bulloch County Clerk of Courts Teresa Perkins Tucker is banking on more than 30 years of experience to bring her a second term in office, while challenger Liz Johnson says she gives voters a choice and would bring fresh perspective to the office.Tucker has worked in the clerk’s office since 1979 and has watched the office grow from when everything was “written in books” to records being kept electronically.“Experience is a big asset,” Tucker said. “Things have changed tremendously since 1979, and while I have had (official) training, I have also had over 30 years’ hands-on experience.”Johnson said the office of clerk of courts “plays an important role in all our lives,” and she feels residents should be “informed about the workings of the office.” Many voters with whom she has spoken were unaware that the position is a countywide office and not restricted to certain districts, she said.“The citizens of Bulloch County deserve a choice,” she said.
