“I have the best staff anyone could ask for,” Flowers said. “We treat everyone with respect.”

During her time in office, Flowers has added a drop box for the convenience of customers that need to pay fees or fines after hours, an e-citations program that prints citations more quickly, jury management software to help select jurors, and an automated calling system to help make jury service for more convenient for jurors. Flowers also buys as many supplies as possible from local vendors.

She was recently named to the Greater Gibson County Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and is a member of the Trenton Exchange Club, Milan Chamber of Commerce, Courtroom Security Committee, and Gibson County Recovery Court staff.

Flowers is a Rutherford native and now lives in Trenton. She is the proud mother of two and grandmother of three. Her son David, his wife Heather, and their children Jackson, age 10, and Deegan, age 6, live in Southaven, Miss.. Daughter Lindsey, her husband Braxton May, and their 19-month-old daughter Caroline reside in Medina.

Flowers is running as an Independent candidate and will be on the Aug. 2 ballot for all areas in the county excluding the cities of Humboldt, Medina, and Gibson.

“I humbly ask for your vote and support,” she said. “I will continue to run the office of Circuit Court Clerk with experience, integrity, honesty, and fairness.”
