Barb Foland Pledges to Continue Service to Public

Incumbent Democrat Barb Foland said that she enjoys meeting the public as part of her work and that she appreciates everything everyone has done for her over the years as she seeks reelection in the November 6th race for Recorder of Deeds. She is being challenged by Republican candidate Meggan Brown.

Foland has served for 12 years and looked back on her accomplishments while in office. She has gotten a grant to microfilm the books, which means a lot less search time for abstractors and members of the public. She got a clean audit report in the recent audit. Before she served as Recorder of Deeds, she worked for Ted’s Repair, where she did all the books there and did most other aspects of the job besides painting. She has also served Meals on Wheels, worked for the US Census Bureau three times, and been a stay at home mom while her children, Jason and Teresa, were growing up. She was a leader in 4-H for many years; she is a member of the Grant City Baptist Church and has served in Worth County Extension and Worth County Farm Bureau.

She enjoys dolls and says spending time with family is very important to her.

Foland is paid by the Recorders’ Association and she gives the rest of her salary back to the county, which means her salary does not cost any taxpayer money.

“I try to go above and beyond when serving people,” said Foland about her job. “I have thoroughly enjoyed getting out and meeting people during my campaign.”
