Letter to the Editor - I want to serve you as clerk and recorder

Greetings Hill County,

I would like to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Lexis Dixon. I am currently employed as deputy clerk and recorder at the Hill County Clerk and Recorder’s Office. I am the accounting clerk, which oversees the budgets, audits, expenditures, revenues and grants. I have experience with the fee and reception book, issuing birth and death certificates, assisted determining herd districts, ownerships, surveys and election duties, as well as supervising and assisting with training new hires. I participate in the Work Safety Champion meeting monthly.

I am a very honest, hard-working person and I work well with other county offices within the courthouse and other businesses in the community and surrounding areas. With the various duties we perform at the clerk and recorder’s office, I have an understanding and appreciation of the importance of documenting and recording events, transactions, etc. This is done to preserve moments that later become historical. 

Recently, I decided to advance my career and filed to run for clerk and recorder. Our fearless leader, Sue Armstrong, has decided to retire. We will be sad to lose her, but I hope to follow in her footsteps. I began my employment with the Hill County Clerk and Recorder’s Office in April 2021. Prior to joining this office, I was a clerk at the Northern Montana Care Center for two years, which afforded me an excellent foundation for my current position.

I moved to Havre in 2017. After spending multiple summers here, I knew that I wanted to make Havre my home. While spending my summers here, I was able to participate for many years in 4-H, with one of my favorite activities being Chuckwagon duty.  

I am an active member at Set Free Christian Fellowship. I have enjoyed assisting with Day in the Park for a number of years, as well as serving at the Back to School Bash. It is exciting to watch children find pure joy in getting a new haircut and then indulging in a half a dozen snow cones on a hot summer’s day, as our summer comes to an end. As my daughter gets older, I look forward to watching her grow up in this community; being involved in the same activities that I have enjoyed doing. 

I look forward to being your next clerk and recorder and working with all of Hill County for many years to come.
