A focus on Clerk of Court Candidate Heidi Barshinger

Greetings all!

Please allow me to thank all of those who have already volunteered in many ways for our campaigns, and for the Tuesday, November 3, 2015 elections.  We have much more to do however and need many more volunteers.  Please email me at ewhitlock@lawplc.com to volunteer.  You can visit the unified Henrico Republican campaign office: “TEAMGOP Victory Office” at 3163 Lauderdale Drive, Henrico, Virginia 23233.

On November 3, 2015, we have important elections for our local government (Commonwealth’s Attorney, Sheriff, Clerk of Court, Board of Supervisors and School Board) as well as our General Assembly (Senate and House of Delegates).  Today the blog will feature Clerk of Court Candidate Heidi Barshinger.

Heidi has worked in the court system her entire career.  Her father was a Circuit Court stenographer for over 30 years.  Heidi has been an attorney for 29 years and has spent the past 15 years practicing in the Henrico County courts.  She was a Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney for Wade Kizer and supervised other attorneys in the office and the law school interns.  For the past 4 years, Heidi has run her own law practice serving as a court appointed defense attorney and guardian ad litem for children and incapacitated adults.  Heidi has done civil contract work for a food distribution company.  Heidi is in the Henrico Courts on a daily basis and has worked closely with the Judges, court clerks, attorneys, law enforcement, and the probation department.  I work with the Code of Virginia every day.

When asked about the position that she seeks, Heidi said:  “The Clerk’s Office has 37 employees and a yearly budget of approximately 2.4 million dollars. Our current Clerk of Court, Yvonne Smith, is endorsing me because of my legal experience, my prior supervisory experience, and strong work ethic.  Experience and knowledge of the law are crucial for this position! I am honored to run as your Republican candidate and would look forward to continuing to serve the citizens of Henrico County and continuing the tradition of excellence that Henrico citizens have come to expect and deserve.”
