Pam is an experienced leader and elections expert. First elected in 2003, she served as the non-partisan city clerk for the City of Wheat Ridge.

She has a reputation for professionalism and fairness from both sides of the aisle. She managed a complex operation of over 110 employees and increased access, efficiency, and accountability across several divisions. She utilized technology to increase efficiency and lower cost to taxpayers, including programs like e-recording of public documents, wait time tools for motor vehicles, and implementing the first ballot sorting equipment in the state which became a standard for many counties. Pam was the leading voice in the successful effort to modernize and secure Colorado elections. These reforms include voter verified paper ballots, the first in the nation risk-limiting audits, robust voter list maintenance and accessible vote centers across the state. She served as a legislative co-chair and as the President of the Colorado County clerks Association when the Colorado legislature adopted the policies that made Colorado the nationally recognized elections model and the safest place to vote in the country. She is an expert in elections policy and administration and advises states and local jurisdictions on how to improve their elections.
