Republican Theresa Santai Gaffney is seeking her third term as Schuylkill County register of wills.

“It has been a great honor to serve the people of Schuylkill County, and I will continue to strive to be a good steward of the taxpayers’ money, to generate revenue and work together to better improve our community, only with the support and trust of our fellow citizens,” she said.

“In the past seven years I have implemented many changes, converted to a new computer system and replaced computers (using only internal automation funds), adding online service and credit card services for convenience,” Santai Gaffney said.

“The Register of Wills staff and I have committed to create a professional and courteous atmosphere, and we have done just that. The office does so much more than creating and maintaining records. When a family comes in to open an estate we try to ease the process and recognize what they are going through. Offering our condolences or congratulating a couple to be married makes a difference.

“I commend my staff, Gloria Adamski, Nancy Briggs, Mark Kester, Judy Howard, Deb Igo and Chrissey Dormer for their professionalism, knowledge and compassion that is shown to everyone, but most of all for their dedication in serving and working for the people.”

Santai Gaffney is a veteran of the U.S. Army Reserves, Catholic War Vets post 1089, American Legion and is a member of St. Patrick’s Church.

She is a member of Pennsylvania’s Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphan Court Association, Advisory Board to Salvation Army Pottsville, Schuylkill Community Action, Schuylkill County Fair, Servants To All Homeless Shelter, Kiwanis of Pottsville President, Business and Professional Women VP, Schuylkill County NRA Committee, Friedensburg Fish and Game, Schuylkill County Sportsmen’s Association, Schuylkill County United Way, Schuylkill Co. Chamber, Pottsville Business Association, and is a recipient of Pennsylvania Family Institutes “Power of One Award”

“I would like to thank my husband Glenn of 34 years, my family Melissa (Hank) Madison Allison Nicholas, Sarah (Zach) Baby M, Jeremiah (Ashley) Johanna Baby G, Waylon, Frank (Brittany) and my siblings for their support … the voters, thank you for your continued support.”
