Pettis County Clerk Nick La Strada is launching a series of outreach, educational and registration initiatives this week as the clock ticks down to the Nov. 6 general election.
“I made a commitment to the people of Pettis County when I was running for office that I wanted a more efficient office and I wanted to use my resources to get people more engaged in the process, so this is all just a chance to follow through on that,” La Strada said.
