Integrity,
& Accountability
My name is Landon Parks, and I am running for Clerk of the District Court to bring experienced, professional leadership to an office that serves the courts and the public every day.
For more than two decades, I have built my career working in Nebraska’s courts. After graduating from Hastings College with degrees in Psychology and Sociology, I began that career working as a case manager with the Lancaster County Adult Drug Court. Over the years, I advanced through roles as coordinator, program manager, and Assistant Director of Lancaster County Community Corrections. Today, I serve as a grant manager with the Nebraska Crime Commission and have also served nationally as a faculty member for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals.
Throughout my career, I have focused on bringing people together to solve problems and improve the way our justice system serves the community. I helped lead Lancaster County’s Adult Drug Court to recognition as a national mentor court, partnered in the development of Lancaster County’s Veterans Treatment Court, and worked closely with judges, the Nebraska Supreme Court, corrections, behavioral health providers, education partners, and community organizations.
Outside of work, my family keeps me grounded and busy. My wife, Jessica, and I have been married for 20 years. Together, we are raising four children, and much of my free time is spent attending their activities. I also enjoy fishing, camping, and working on the aquaponics garden system in our backyard. One of my favorite moments this past year was watching my two oldest sons play together in the state soccer tournament. Go Bolts!
Lancaster County is where I have built my career, raised my family, and spent more than two decades serving the community. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the people who make our courts and justice system work every day and for the importance of public service that is professional, dependable, and focused on the people it serves. I am grateful for the opportunity to call Lancaster County home and would be honored to continue serving this community as Clerk of the District Court.
I am running for Clerk of the District Court because I believe experienced leadership can make a meaningful difference in how an office serves the public every day. The Clerk’s Office is responsible for work that must be accurate, timely, dependable, and accessible to the people who rely on it.
My approach is to build on what works while always looking for practical ways to improve. That means listening to employees and the public, improving processes where we can, using technology responsibly, strengthening customer service, and making sure taxpayer resources are managed carefully.
This isn’t an office about politics or policy. It’s about professional leadership, accurate records, timely service, and an office the public and the courts can depend on.
