Mary Calvillo has announced her candidacy for Platte County Clerk in the Republican primary election on Aug. 4.
She has over 45 years of experience in office management, executive assistance, supervision and customer service, bringing essential skills necessary to run a smooth office focused on taxpayer needs.
In recent months, several county elected officials—including the current clerk—approved a 30% increase in base salaries for themselves for the next term. This decision stood in contrast to a 2.5% adjustment for county employees.
“It’s time to unseat people who put excessive burdens on taxpayers. It’s time for accountability,” Calvillo stated.
“I am running because Platte County deserves better stewardship of public resources,” she said. “I am committed to serving with integrity, enhancing office efficiency, maintaining fiscal responsibility, and being accessible to working families.”
Calvillo said The Homestead Tax Credit Act on the April 7, 2026 ballot is a measure “I fully support for all Platte County homeowners. I pledge to expedite any clerk responsibilities associated with that act in a timely and efficient manner.”
As county clerk, Calvillo says she will focus on streamlining operations, ensuring accountability, and putting the needs of Platte Countians first.
“The clerk’s office will be open until 5 p.m. under my leadership,” she said.
“I respectfully ask for the support of Republican voters in the primary on Aug. 4, 2026, as the stand out candidate,” she added.
“Together, we can restore accountable and effective leadership to our community.”
Calvillo said she is a dedicated resident of Platte County with a strong commitment to public service and conservative values. She looks forward to engaging with voters across the county in the coming months.
