Sandra Knapp-Dunbar is running for the position of Tioga County Clerk on the Democratic Party ticket in the upcoming General Election, taking place on Nov. 3. She and her husband Fran own and operate Dunbar Antiques and the ‘Erb Lady at 35 Lake St. in Owego, N.Y., and she has lived and worked in the county for over 40 years. She has a degree in accounting and employment experience in banking, finance and administration.
“My focus as Tioga County Clerk,” said Knapp-Dunbar, “will be toward customer service, accessibility, accuracy and fiscal responsibility; to continue to move toward the future as well as benefit Tioga County.”
Knapp-Dunbar added, “My job history, customer service and financial background combined with the organizational skills I have developed through being involved in my community, make me the most qualified candidate for this position at this time. I care about Tioga County and understand the importance of the Clerk’s position.”
In addition to her strong work related skill set, Knapp-Dunbar stated in a release, she has long been actively involved in service related volunteering in the county. She and her husband Fran co-chaired the Owego Strawberry Festival in 2014 and 2015 and they successfully helped to raise funds to purchase and preserve Hiawatha Island in the Susquehanna River. She is also treasurer of the Historic Owego Marketplace, a not-for-profit merchant group that works to improve, promote and attract visitors to the Village of Owego.
Knapp-Dunbar, in her release, encouraged everyone in the county to vote.
Knapp-Dunbar added, “I believe in the two party system. Too often our local elections go unopposed and too few people come out to vote. I’m not content to let this happen. I intend to work very hard to win this election and carry on the high traditions of the County Clerk’s office. I am truly looking forward to serving the people of Tioga County. I am asking for your support and your vote on November third.”
