Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon took her oath of office to a third five-year term as Monmouth County Clerk at the County Organization Day ceremony this week.
Nest week, the Monmouth County Clerk will also be sworn in as the chair of the New Jersey Republican Party with a goal of strengthening the GOP party in the Garden State.
“I am honored and humbled to be afforded the opportunity to continue to serve the residents of Monmouth County,” said Hanlon at her swearing in as Monmouth County Clerk. “I look forward to continuing to deliver top-tier services and expanding programs that help make our great County the best place to live, work and play.”
The clerk was sworn in by Monmouth Vicinage Assignment Judge Marc C. Lemieux and also participated in another ceremony officially certifying the elections of Sheriff Shaun Golden, Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone and Commissioner Dominick “Nick” DiRocco, who also took their oaths of office.
Hanlon has gained a reputation for her ambitious leadership in office, working to modernize the Clerk’s Office, implementing new initiatives, and expanding the services of the office. Some of her recent achievements and accomplishments for the office include the “Honoring Our Heroes” discount program for veterans and Gold Star Family members, the Mobile County Connection, which brings government services directly to communities, and the free Property Fraud Alert program for Monmouth County homeowners.
She also created the Monmouth County Votes website and free mobile app to ensure County residents have access to the most up-to-date and important election information; she also spearheaded the implementation of the state’s only enhanced ballot-tracking system for vote-by-mail voters.
Clerk Hanlon holds a Juris Doctorate from Fordham University and is a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University. Prior to being elected as County Clerk, she served as Commissioner on the Board of Elections and practiced law for more than 20 years, focusing most recently on government affairs and municipal law.
In her office as county clerk, Hanlon oversees five divisions handling property recordings, elections, archives, passports and records management. The Office also provides resident, veteran and Gold Star Family identification cards to eligible county residents, administers oaths to notaries and public officials and performs wedding ceremonies.
Taking on the responsibility of the state Republican Party for the first time, Hanlon’s aims include reviving a party that lost the gubernatorial election in November as well as several Assembly seats, granting Democrats their largest majority in decades in the state.
Hanlon secured the state party chairmanship over three other candidates for the office, Rosemary Becchi, former Bogota Mayor and conservative activist Steve Lonegan, and activist Michael Currie. She received 26 votes while Becchi who received 15, placed second.
