Susan L. Vande Kamp is the Republican incumbent for county recorder for this year’s election. 

This year Vande Kamp is running unopposed in the election, with the exception of write-ins. 

As a county recorder, her job is to maintain and issue out various types of records. Some of her work includes issuing marriage certificates and boat, snowmobile and ATV registration.

Vande Kamp also processes passport applications by completing and mailing in the applications.

Starting in July 1997, recorders became registrars of vital records, which means the recorder office holds information on births, deaths and marriages for Story County.

Some of the other records include “deeds, contracts, mortgages, assignments, releases, state and federal tax liens, affidavits and land surveys,” according to the Story County Recorder website.
