The three candidates

for Coweta's Clerk of Superior Court traveled to Senoia Wednesday afternoon

to inform the voters of why they should be elected.

Nearly 40 seniors

turned out at the East Coweta Senior Center in Senoia to listen to each

candidate list their qualifications.

Cindy Brown

led off the discussion and said her 11 years of experience in the clerk's

office has shown her how the office needs to be run.

Brown has worked

for three clerks: Virginia Hollberg, Debbie Glover and Joan Griffies.

During those years, she has learned that the most important aspect of

the job is being a public servant.

"My door

will always be open," she said.

Wally Metzger

took the floor next and said he had lived in the county for five years.

If elected, Metzger said he would like to see trust put back in the office.

"We've

had problems in the past. I'd like to restore the integrity to that office,"

he said.

Metzger added

that he wants to raise the concept of a public servant and urged the seniors

to vote for him.

"There

is wisdom in age," he said.

most talkative of the crowd was former clerk Joan Griffies. Griffies was

defeated last July by former clerk worker Mary Jane Thompson. Thompson

resigned earlier this year after pleading guilty to taking funds from

the clerk's office.

Griffies emphasized

her experience in the job for the last four years as one of the main reasons

voters should cast their ballots for her.

"These

last four years have been the most satisfying thing that I've done in

my life," she said.

Griffies said

that she had modernized the office with new computer equipment and said

she was a skilled manager.

The election

for clerk is set for March 20.
