My name is Lori Jones, and I am seeking re-election for the office of Register of Deeds.

I have been an employee of the Register of Deeds office since 1995. I first served under Mr. Gary Brogden and then under Mrs. Martha Bumbalough.

After Martha’s retirement in 2022, I was elected as the next Restrar to erve the White County community, and it would be an honor to continue to serve White County in this capacity.

The Register of Deeds office is a fee office that records 107 different types of documents such as warrant deeds, trust agreements, wills, deeds of trust, plats and restrictions, just to name a few.

I have been a resident of White County since 1980 and graduated from White County High School in 1986. I then attended MTSU before marrying and starting a family.

My husband of 38 years, Jeff Jones, and I live on the north end of the county. We have been blessed with eight children and three grandchildren.

I believe our community deserves a Registrar that has the experience and knowledge it takes to properly record all of your important documents. If you believe this as well, I would appreciate your support to continue on as your White County Registrar of Deeds.
