Rose Deseyn runs for county clerk

Rosemary Deseyn is one of the candidates filed for county clerk. A resident for 22 years, Deseyn moved here from upstate New York. She was born in Ohio and received schooling at Kent State University.

Of her 22 years here, she’s worked for Hot Springs County for 14 of them, having worked in the county clerk’s office, the treasurer’s office and currently in the district court clerk’s office.

Deseyn stated, “I feel I have intensive experience having worked in the three offices. I know the behind the scenes workings that so many people don’t get to see. I want to take that knowledge to help serve the constituents of Hot Springs County. I plan on being a hands on clerk, working the counter and doing anything necessary to help service the community and to keep the office running smoothly and moving forward.”

She further added she wants the opportunity to step up and take a more active role in the community. As for her move out here from New York, she said it was a decision by her and her husband to slow things down a bit and raise their children in a more humble setting. She said the people here have been kind to them, and it’s a good time to try and give back.
