My Name is Debbie Hannifan, your candidate for Polk County Supervisor of Elections. As a lifelong Polk Countian, and over fifteen years of active participation in the elections process, I’ve made the decision to enter the race to serve you, my neighbors and friends. I am running because I believe election integrity matters. More than ever, your vote matters. It is my mission to ensure safe, secure, legal, and efficient elections for all Polk County residents to effectively choose their elected officials.

I had my first taste of campaign work as a teenager when my Dad ran for Lakeland City Commission. Being raised in a home where community involvement was expected and conservative entrepreneurial principles were revered, I bring a unique mix of political and business acumen and servant leadership to any role in which I serve. In business and on the campaign trail, my diverse experience and passion for excellence makes me the best candidate for change!

I have extensive experience in grassroots election work, candidate education, Get Out the Vote initiatives, election day operations, and canvassing board oversight. Through these experiences we have discovered serious deficiencies that need immediate attention:

• Voter fraud
• Voter registration irregularities
• Polling locations refusal to follow election law
• Unfair voter practices
• Not enough ballots/materials on election day
• Long lines at the polls
