Former Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder George Stern is considering a run for Colorado secretary of state in two years, the Democrat told Colorado Politics.
Stern, 37, said his experience turning around one of the largest county clerk’s offices in the state could help bolster trust in Colorado’s elections at a time when the state’s voting system has been under heightened scrutiny.
“I think it’s more important than ever that we have people with election administration experience serving as secretaries of state throughout the country, as we work to continue to defend the integrity of our elections and also to rebuild trust in our elections,” Stern said in an interview.
