Deborah Padoleski’s tenure as clerk-treasurer demonstrates deep institutional knowledge of village operations. She has proven her fiscal responsibility and budget management through her experience in the clerk’s office.

Her understanding of municipal regulations, procedures, and legal requirements gives her a heads up for the mayoral position along with her track record of maintaining accurate records and ensuring transparency.

She has exhibited integrity and ethical standards in public service especially with her problem-solving abilities during challenging situations.

Debbie has exhibited a commitment to the community’s welfare through her collaborative approach to working with other officials and departments.

Debbie has the ability to make difficult decisions under pressure especially through her experience in balancing competing community needs.

Debbie has a vision for the village’s future and shown her accessibility and willingness to listen to constituents.

As I have stated previously, I worked with her for 31 years and her work ethic, dedication and leadership during our 31 years working together showed her skills as clerk-treasurer translate directly to mayoral responsibilities.

If you live in the Village of Medina be sure to vote on March 18 for Deborah Padoleski for Medina’s next mayor.
