Our Choice for Clerk

"Cindy Johnson will bring professional oversight and quality management to a Yamhill County Clerk’s Office that has been marred by dysfunction and mistakes. It's time for leadership and accountability.”

"This position is more than what we think of as a county clerk position. This position requires strong program management skills, exceptional attention to detail, good communication skills, but even more importantly - the willingness to dive in and have no fear in approaching difficult situations, problems, and people. Having worked with Cindy Johnson for a number of years in a fortune 100 technology company, I have been impressed with her commitment to deliver multiple completed simultaneous programs, on time. In a fast paced working environment filled with change, Cindy Johnson consistently sought and delivered on the right path to solution by examining requirements, options, and ideas, while making it easy to work with her. I cannot imagine a more qualified person for the position, and Yamhill County will benefit greatly from her oversight in the role of County Clerk."

"I had the privilege of working with Cindy Johnson both at WebTrends and during her time leading installer development for drivers deployed on millions of laptops worldwide. This was a highly complex space - working with OEM partners, navigating changing OS standards, and integrating with critical system-level components - and Cindy guided the effort with clarity and professionalism.

Her real strength lies in communication, interpersonal leadership, and project management. She has a natural ability to bring teams together, resolve challenges across functions, and keep demanding projects moving forward.

Cindy has since taken her talents into the open-source ecosystem, supporting Linux system development on Intel platforms, which speaks to both her versatility and breadth of experience. I strongly recommend her for any project management role - she brings the skills, perspective, and leadership that make challenging projects successful."
