On 2026-10-16 Current Publishing published profiles of the two candidates for Boone County clerk: incumbent Republican Lisa Bruder and Democratic challenger Monica White. Bruder said she is completing her fourth year as county clerk and described 20 years of hands-on experience in the clerk’s office; White, a small-business owner who moved to Boone County in 2023, said she brings 14-plus years of operations and leadership experience.

Both candidates framed their campaigns around similar themes but different approaches. Bruder identified honesty, integrity and hands-on, bipartisan service, and said her office will continue following state law on accessibility and transparency for court records and election information while keeping election integrity a top priority. White listed modern, accessible public service; accuracy and confidentiality in records management; and transparent, efficient administration — proposing workflow reviews, reduced bottlenecks, improved online guidance and documented election procedures.

WHY IT MATTERS

This Q&A-style profile lets Boone County voters compare how the two candidates say they would run the clerk’s office on topics the candidates raised: election procedures, public access to records and office modernization. When candidates use terms such as “election integrity,” Current Publishing reported that Bruder tied that to bipartisan service and following state law; White described specific administrative steps — documented procedures, trained workers and timely communication — as her path to that goal. “Modernization,” as White used the term, refers to reviewing workflows, removing bottlenecks and improving online guidance so residents can more easily find information or submit requests.

For voters: the choices affect how the incumbent and challenger say they would prioritize staff training, public communication and records handling. The next milestone is the general election on 2026-11-03; Current Publishing’s candidate profiles were published 2026-10-16.
