Friends,

I am letting you know I’ve filed for re-election as Guilford County Register of Deeds.

We’ve made many positive changes over the last four years–enhancing technology, cross training employees, and saving Guilford County Government hundreds of thousands of dollars. That dedication has not gone unnoticed.

The Guilford County Register of Deed’s commitment to excellence was celebrated with a 2009-10 North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) Local Government Productivity Award.

I could not be prouder of my staff and our accomplishments at the Register of Deeds. We’ve tried not only to meet the expectations of our customers, but to exceed them.

We’ve accomplished a great deal–but more needs to be done.

For example, I’ll be one of twenty five representatives on a historic Land Records Summit panel hosted by the Property Records Industry Association in Washington DC at the end of the month. This will be a “put everything on the table” meeting about where we are and where we need to go as we have moved through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

I’m running a campaign of values. I believe the role of government with business should be one of partnership. Our daily operations are both business and customer-centered to help meet your needs. I’m also taking a hard line on issues like robosigning and mortgage fraud in my land registry because no one is above the law.

And at the heart of all our values is simply the golden rule, that we treat each other the way we’d want to be treated, with respect and dignity.

If you would like to volunteer or send a contribution online, please visit www.jeffthigpen.com. We are also excited to announce the launch of our new Facebook page located at http://facebook.com/JeffLThigpen

As always, I’d appreciate your support.

Sincerely,

Jeff L. Thigpen Campaign for Guilford County Register of Deeds
