Ann Bennett For Harris County Tax Assessor
| Ann Harris Bennett files for Tax Assessor Collector & Voter Registrar in April 3, 2012 Election |
I am happy to announce that I have filed for the office of Harris County Tax Assessor Collector & Voter Registrar.
I felt compelled to enter this race because I passionately believe we need to restore integrity, transparency, and accountability to the voter registration process. The office of Tax Assessor Collector & Voter Registrar is one of those County Administrative Offices that most of us only think about when we are waiting in a long line to pay fees on automobile license tags or property taxes.
The tax watchdog function of this office is incredibility important to the economic success of our region. The office also oversees voter registration. It is no secret that past holders of this office have been entangled in scandalous lawsuits calling into question the integrity of our voter registration process.
It has been almost 50 years since passage of the Voting Rights Act. Yet, from voter registration irregularities to illegal redistricting plans, we too often continue to see examples of the need for the legal protections afforded under the Voting Rights Act. While I could not be more thankful for those protections, I intend to end the questionable practices of the registration process.
The voter registration process should be simple, secure, accessible and most of all, it should never leave citizens questioning its' integrity. Having me as your Tax Assessor Collector & Voter Registrar, all Harris County residents will receive the efficiency and integrity they deserve.
I am asking for your support in the upcoming April 3, 2012 Primary Election!
