My name is Toni V. Smith, and I am excited to announce that I am running for Fort Bend County Clerk in the 2022 Primary Democratic Election on March 1, 2022. After prayer, deep consideration, and support from family and friends, I have decided that now is the time to put my personal and professional skills to work as a servant for the people of Fort Bend County. I am confident I possess the integrity, experience, accountability, and commitment to lead as the ideal candidate representing the Democratic ticket as Fort Bend County Clerk.

As County Clerk, my commitment to ethics and effective compliance is paramount. I will hold myself accountable for the duties and responsibilities of the office and to the community. My goal as County Clerk is to provide high ethical standards and exceptional customer service to the public with respect, courtesy, transparency, and professionalism. I will be fair, impartial, compassionate, and consistent. Additionally, I am committed to achieving excellence and improving government services through new technology designed to facilitate enhanced accessibility.

I am a committed Texas native, born in Bryan and raised in Houston. I am the second oldest of six children, including three sisters and two brothers. My desire to serve began as an adolescent, where the leadership of ancestors and parents guided me, and all who came before me naturally instilled the commitment to serve. Leading by example, servicing the community with honesty and integrity are morals and values that I keep in perspective. 

I am a servant-at-heart who desires to help others achieve their goals. Therefore, I commit to serving and representing the citizens of Fort Bend County as I strive to see the community successful in every area. I humbly ask for your support and the opportunity to serve as the 2022 Democratic Party representative for Fort Bend County Clerk.
