Conservative firebrand Julie Hannah is taking her years of experience as a Williamson County Republican Party member and Chairwoman and using it in her unique campaign to be the county’s next Register of Deeds.
“People think campaigns are all about big rallies, television ads, and media interviews but at the local level it is door knocking and personal connections that make the difference in winning or losing. That’s why my focus is on going door to door throughout Williamson County,” Hannah said in a statement, adding:
“I want to bring my experience in the private business arena to provide consistent professionalism to the office. For me, being Register of Deeds is not about having a position, it is all about serving people and doing the job so well that it never really draws much attention.
The Williamson County Register of Deeds is a fairly obscure office that not many people are familiar with.
“You’re running for what? is almost always the first question I get,” she quipped. “Having the chance to meet people at their front doors and ask for their votes has been amazing out. I’ve never been more more optimistic about our future with having had the chance to meet families who make our county so great.”
In fact, the Register of Deeds is the local official responsible for filing or recording instruments – such as leases, liens, and deeds of trust (mortgages) – that affect the legal status of real and personal property. During the Jacksonian era in the 1830’s, the formerly appointed position was made into an elected office for a term of four years. The current Register, Sadie Wade, decided not to run for re-election in 2018.
“Outgoing Register of Deeds Sadie Wade’s experience and humble service will be deeply missed and I hope to rely on her as a resource for years to come,” Hannah said.
Hannah has already knocked on 3812 doors and expects to hit over 9,000 before the May 1 primary election date. Early voting runs April 11 through April 26.
Since age 24, Julie Hannah has started or owned seven separate businesses. She served as Williamson County Republican Party Chairwoman from 2015-2017. Julie and her two teenage boys are members of Forrest Hills Baptist Church.
I have always thought that we simply cannot have too many “conservative firebrands” holding public office, no matter how ministerial the duties of that office. With that in mind, I will enthusiastically cast my vote for Julie Hannah for Register of Deeds.
