Landon’s

Priorities

Efficiency,
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.

I have spent my career serving Nebraska’s criminal justice system, including more than 18 years with Lancaster County in leadership roles at Community Corrections and now as an employee with the Nebraska Crime Commission. Throughout my career, I have worked closely within the Lancaster County District Court, building strong professional relationships with judges, attorneys, county officials, and justice system partners while overseeing operations, compliance, and public resources.

The Clerk of the District Court’s Office is essential to ensuring fairness, accessibility, and accountability in our justice system. My priorities include modernizing court operations, improving public access to information, and ensuring the office operates with transparency, accuracy, and efficiency.

I am proud to live and work in Lancaster County, and I would be honored to serve you as your next Clerk of the District Court.
