Andrea E. Naugle is unchallenged in her bid for re-election as Lehigh County Clerk of Judicial Records.

Naugle, 60, of Allentown, has served as the first Lehigh County Clerk of Judicial Records since January 2008.

She oversees the Civil, Criminal, Recorder of Deeds and Register of Wills divisions.

Prior to election as Clerk of Judicial Records, Naugle was elected to three terms, beginning in 1995 as the Clerk of Courts, overseeing the Civil and Criminal Divisions.

Naugle is responsible for consolidating the Recorder of Deeds and Register of Wills with the Civil and Criminal into one office location after her election as the Clerk of Judicial Records.

“I have spent my entire adult life serving the public the best way possible and carrying out the numerous responsibilities efficiently and accurately of all four divisions of the Clerk of Judicial Records,” Naugle said.

“These divisions are responsible for the filing, recording and maintaining all court records for the civil and criminal courts, all probate records, and all land title records.”

Naugle is responsible for the electronic imaging of all land records in the Recorder of Deeds Division, allowing easy review of all land records and permits those records to be electronically recorded.

In addition, Naugle instituted a microfilm project in 1998 in the Civil and Criminal Divisions which also substantially reduced the volume of paper records and saved valuable office space.

“These changes mean the public can access these records much more easily.” Naugle added, “I would like to continue to use my years of experience to find innovative ways to improve service and reduce costs.”

She is a board member and secretary of the Allentown Northeast Kiwanis Club, vice president and board member of the Lehigh County Employees’ Federal Credit Union, and a member of the Travelers Protective Association of America.

Naugle, who lives in Allentown, is a member of the Midway Manor Community Association and a lifetime associate member of the Fraternal Order of Police LeHampton Lodge 35.
