“Bri’s ability to accurately read and interpret the volumes of accounting codes prescribed by the Indiana State Board of Accounts is only exceeded by her ability to apply these codes to the extremely complicated financial system that the state requires counties to manage,” Smith wrote.
Gregory has also received endorsements from Monroe County Commissioner Julie Thomas and Monroe County Council President Kate Wiltz.
As financial director, Gregory oversees county finances, including the bi-annual distribution of tax revenues to county departments, the City of Bloomington, the Town of Ellettsville and local townships.
