Davis County's Meet your Clerk page says McKenzie became the elected clerk in 2022 after more than two decades in the Clerk's office. He began with Davis County in 2004 in technical and administrative roles and served as Chief Deputy Clerk from 2016 to 2022. [1]
The county lists a bachelor's degree in business administration, a Certified Elections/Registration Administrator (CERA) credential completed through Auburn University and the Election Center, and the Olene Walker VOTE Certification from Weber State University. The office handles elections, passports, marriage licenses, government records and clerk services for the County Commission. [1]
In his own words: Standard-Examiner interview
In an interview the Standard-Examiner published June 1, 2026, McKenzie said he is running again because he loves the job and the role elections play in the community. On election security he pointed to regular equipment testing, chain of custody, physical security and his own certification as a technician on the county's voting system. He said the office brought citizens and a member of the County Commission or board of canvass into post-election audits. [2]
On transparency, he said the office put public meeting agendas and contracts online in a searchable format, posted historical election records and began election town halls and tours before each election. He contrasted his practical experience with calls for fresh eyes, saying he favors continually improving processes through small incremental changes. The article also covers a challenge to him in the June Republican primary and his response to criticism of the office's 2024 election. [2]
