Lacy Ivey is seeking a second term as county clerk, citing the experience she gained during her first four years in office and the relationships she has built with residents.

Ivey is running for re-election in the Aug. 6 county general election. The office is commonly known as the county tag office.

“I have truly enjoyed getting to know everyone in the county this first term,” Ivey said. “Since being in office, I have developed a true understanding of the job and learned its importance.”

She said four years in office have given her a stronger grasp of its duties and responsibilities and have shown her where she can continue to improve.

“I plan to continue to learn so that I can best serve the citizens of Moore County,” she said.

For Ivey, some of the most meaningful moments have come through conversations with residents at the clerk’s office and while campaigning across the county.

“I have enjoyed getting to know people on a more personal level through all of the heartfelt conversations we have had in my office the last few years, as well as when going door to door campaigning,” she said.

A lifelong Moore County resident, Ivey lives in the county with her husband, Jesse, and their three daughters, Sadie, Allie, and Penny.

Much of the family’s time is spent traveling to and from the girls’ sporting events.

“We are on the go with them constantly and love every minute of it,” Ivey said.

The family attends Liberty Hill Church of Christ, where Ivey’s grandmother, parents, and in-laws also worship. She said those family and community ties make Moore County the place where she wants to raise her children.

“We love this community and are happy to be raising our children here,” she said.

Ivey thanked the voters who supported her four years ago and said she hopes they will give her the opportunity to continue serving.

“I would like to thank those who believed in me and gave me the opportunity to serve the county this far,” she said. “I would greatly appreciate the chance to continue to do so.”

She plans to continue campaigning door-to-door through Election Day. Residents with questions may contact her at 931-307-9554.
