While Finley and her family have been involved in politics, specifically in Tarrant County, she said Collin County was a new to her. When former district clerk Andrea Thompson stepped down, Finley said she saw it as an opportunity to be involved in her community.
"I felt nothing but a lot of welcome and open arms from all of the people in Collin County," Finley said. "I'm very excited and I find Collin County to be such a quality and class county when it comes to politics, at least with my experience in this race."
When Finley takes office she said she would like to focus her attention on making sure the county is running efficiently and helping the county save money.
"I think once I get into the office, I can get a better sense on where [the county] is and some of the other areas I want to work on," she said.
