Kaiti Lenhart, the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections, has filed to run for re-election. No one else has filed for the seat.
Lenhart was first elected in 2016, but had been appointed elections supervisor by then-Gov. Rick Scott in 2015 after the resignation of former elections supervisor Kimberle Weeks.
Lenhart said her office has been busy working to ensure the 2020 elections run smoothly and securely, and expanding opportunities for kids to learn about voting through mock elections.
In addition, she said, she's been serving for the past couple of years on the Electronic Registration Information Center implementation committee, working to help get Florida compliant with legislation that requires the cancelation of a voter's registration in one state when they move to another.
"That is a really important part of elections security as well," Lenhart said. "We’re working to get Florida online with that; the legislation was passed a couple years ago and we [the state] are still not part of this program."
Why run again?
"Bottom line is I just really love my job, and I have a great team and I'd love to have the opportunity to continue to serve as the county’s supervisor of elections," Lenhart said.
Lenhart had reported no campaign contributions or expenditures as of Aug. 19.
