Second Generation - Debbie Bookman for Chester County Prothonotary

Second Generation is proud to once again support Debbie Bookman for Chester County Prothonotary.

Debbie is a daughter of Caribbean immigrants and a second generation American. She is currently running for re-election, once again with our endorsement.

Over the past four years, Debbie has worked to modernize the Office of the Prothonotary by digitizing almost sixty years of paper and microfilm filings, as well as upgrading their system to be more efficient. Since taking office, Debbie has extended passport services to evening hours and has expanded bilingual services and increased diversity from 4% to 18%. 

As a domestic survivor, Debbie will bring a different viewpoint to the office. She understands first-hand what it means to be a victim of circumstances and will work diligently to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and efficiently.

Debbie has vastly improved the office of the prothonotary during her first term, and we believe she is best candidate to continue this important work. 

“My parents always considered themselves blessed to be able to come to America from the Caribbean to make a better life for themselves. They spent more than half of their lives as a nurse and a pastor giving back and advocating for all no matter who they were. At a very young age I was taught that I must do the same. I am so grateful to receive the endorsement of Second Generation. With their help I will be able to carry on my parent’s legacy of helping others." - Debbie Bookman
