New County of Ventura Clerk-Recorder & Registrar of Voters Michelle Ascencion made history when she was the first woman and first person of color elected to the position in the County’s 150 year history, in the June 2022 Primary Election.
Ms. Ascencion brings nearly 20 years of local government service to the office at various agencies including the City of Port Hueneme, the Ventura Regional Sanitation District, and the City of Oxnard. Her years of experience as a former City Clerk (appointed City Clerk in Port Hueneme and elected City Clerk in Oxnard) proved to be invaluable preparation for her role at the County of Ventura.
Growing up in Oxnard, Ms. Ascencion is a graduate of Santa Clara High School, Oxnard College, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and a future graduate of CSUCI as she is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Public Administration. Ms. Ascencion holds several professional certifications and has received awards and accolades from the community for her public service.
Michelle and her husband David are longtime Ventura County residents. The Ascencions have four adult children and are active members of their Oxnard community.
