Experience Is the Foundation. Innovation Is the Future.
The Clerk Forward vision is built on proven experience and a commitment to continuous improvement. After more than two decades serving within the court system, I understand the responsibilities of the Clerk's Office and the opportunities to make it more responsive, more accessible, and more efficient. My goal is to preserve what works, improve what doesn't, and ensure every resident receives the highest standard of public service.
Meet Terrell Thomas
As a dedicated public servant, technology leader, and nearly three-decade veteran of Florida's court system, I am running for Orange County Clerk of Court because I believe every resident deserves an office that is accessible, innovative, and committed to exceptional service.
The Clerk's Office is where I built lifelong relationships, learned the value of servant leadership, and found a professional family. I know that lasting success isn't achieved by one person- it is built by empowering people, developing exceptional teams, and creating a culture where everyone is committed to a shared purpose. Through the Clerk Forward vision, I will unite our employees, judiciary, legal partners, and community around a common goal: delivering exceptional service while honoring the office's proud legacy and preparing it for the future.
